Reviews
As the romance genre changes and evolves, there continues to be a need for new handbooks on writing within the genre. Estrada, founding member of Romance Writers of America, and coauthor Gallagher have written an up-to-date handbook for writing romances in the `90s. In a conversational style that occasionally rambles, they take the reader through the process of not only writing a romance and submitting it to publishers but also the production phase of book publishing. They discuss what an agent can do for a beginning writer and how to find one, and the craft of creating strong characters, plot, conflict, and resolution. They also list writers' organizations and publications of interest to fiction writers. Sprinkled liberally with quotes from well-known romance writers, this handbook will be of interest and use to all aspiring romance writers. Ann Bouricius
