1.0 out of 5 stars
Very disappointing!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Romance Writers' Handbook (Paperback)
I was very disappointed when I received my copy of this book. Initially, my displeasure centered round the unprofessional editing. The book appears to be in draft form as typos abound, the formatting is inconsistent and the overuse of uppercase letters left me gasping. And these are just a few of the points that should have been rectified before publication! The actual content is poor to fair, but it's difficult to read because of the glaring editorial mistakes. The book contains too many exercises and very little concrete information. I would not recommend this book. It's a waste of money.

Perfect book for first time writers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Romance Writers' Handbook (Paperback)
I just decided this year to start writing a romance novel. I had no clear starting point where to began and someone recommened this book. I'm so glad they did. It helped me start an outline describing how I wanted my characters to be.It's a step by step guide for anyone who needs help getting started. It also hows you how to introduce secondary characters into your book. Don't miss out on this book. It's worth the money!

Very helpful for aspiring authors,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Romance Writers' Handbook (Paperback)
The Romance Writer's Handbook by LaFlorya Gauthier shows how to develop characters, how to plot and then organize all the elements into a romance novel.Written as a workbook, this resource offers a way to understand your characters and story. There are many good exercises to do before you write the rough draft. However, the book is not intended for the writer who has completed several manuscripts. The focus is on how to begin. The Romance Writer's Handbook is helpful for aspiring romance writers who want a lot of guidance in writing the first novel.
