Buy It! June 21, 2004

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

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.

Kate Walker has come up with another keeper. Her 12-Point Guide to Writing Romance is clear, comprehensive and practical and jam-packed full of the kind of inside information it would take a stack of rejection/revision letters to learn the hard way. The checklists are wonderful for any writer published or yet to be.
A fabulous resource, almost like having the multi published Kate sitting alongside sharing her experience and wisdom with you as you write.
If you write romance, do yourself a favour and get this book. You won't be disappointed.
The only yHow to Write a Romancey guide youyll 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.

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.
