An essential guide for series romance authors May 1, 2008

Kate Walker's 2nd Edition of her highly regarded (and now completely sold out) 12 Point Guide has now been published. It is not a reprint but a vastly expanded and updated guide. Time has not stood still in the field of series romance writing and neither has this book. New features include an approximately 50 page section on author's tips. A wide variety of authors currently writing for different series within the Harlequin Mills & Boon family give thier take on the writing process. Many of these authors credit Kate and the first edition of this book with giving them inspiration and help with their own writing process. I know that she certainly helped me.
Anyone seeking to learn more about writing series romance, or indeed commercial fiction would do well to read this book. Kate Walker offers practical and easily understood advice for any writer seeking to improve their knowledge of craft and to work more effectively with their own unique talent.
Excellent Guide to Writing Romance December 4, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Kate Walker's guide is concise, detailed and practical. Each chapter has exercises to help the would-be author develop their own Romance story.
If you want to write category Romance, then this book is an excellent tool to be used before you write and during the actual writing process.
The only żHow to Write a Romanceż guide youżll ever need July 17, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you're serious about writing a romance novel, let me recommend Kate Walker's 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance. This book has it all: thought provoking lessons, engaging questions, and helpful writing assignments. I've read at least a dozen other "how to write a romance" guides and none of them are as complete or easy to understand as Ms. Walker's. This guide has something for everyone whether you're a beginner or a best selling author. It does a fantastic job of teaching you new concepts and making you rethink old ones. It's truly the last and only "How to Write a Romance Novel" guide you'll ever need. And I'm sure it will be the standard in "how to guides" for romance writers for many years to come. Thanks, Ms. Walker, for giving the romance community such a wonderful and helpful book.

As an aspiring romance writer, Kate Walker sent me this book. It's a very useful tool for unpacking mistakes in your own writing - given by a woman who's phenomenally successful in her chosen genre. I am now a multi 'accepted' author, Natasha Oakley, with Mills and Boon myself. What more can I say?
A Master class in romance writing May 28, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Kate Walker has done it again! She has produced a guide to romance writing that has surpassed her previous excellent effort. The book is an outgrowth of her expertise at leading workshops and guiding aspiriing Romance writers of all ages towards the goal of publication. As well, Kate draws on her expeince of writing over 43 books for Mills and Boon. Anyone who seeks to achieve that goal or who simply wants to improve their craft of romance writing would do well to buy this book.
Not only does Kate explain each of her 12 topics from emotion to the believeable happy ever after ending with a great deal of depth and clarity, she also provides lists of discussion questions to get you thinking about your novel and exercises to help improve your writing.
She explains the hows and whys of conflict, the importance of sensuality and passion as well the need to keep asking why. She even has a section that deals with coping with editor or agent generated revisions. If you are serious about romance writing, this book should be on your shelves.
