An All-New Investigation into 
the Art and Craft of Writing
GREAT Romance Fiction for
Fun and a FORTUNE in Profit!

There is a common misconception that writing Romance Fiction is somehow undignified. That it is formulaic and trite. 

However, if you speak to professional writers, editors and publishers of Romance fiction, whether for short stories or novels, they'll tell you that nothing could be further from the truth. 

Industry people know that good Romance writing is a fine art and a noble craft. To do it well you need the right skills, the correct mindset and have the appropriate motivation. 
         
And for good reason.

Get it right, and you can make a fortune.

Romance outsells all other fiction by a factor of 5 to I, but it's also one of the most difficult genres to break into. Why? Because the competition is enormous. 

The good news for you and me is that 90% of all Romance manuscripts are reportedly terrible. This is because most new Romance writers just don't understand the needs of publishers (magazine and book), agents and indeed, the reading public

It's for this reason we have devised a refreshing new look into the genre.

Sign up to this brand home study course, and you will discover: 

            1. Modern Romance, its Place & Purpose 

                2. The Myth of the Romance Formula

                3. Creating Dynamic & Believable Heroines

                4. Fun, Poignant & Realistic Motivating Factors

                5. Site, Setting & Background in Time & Space

                6. Hearts, Flowers & Weddings - The New Thinking

                7. Portraying Desire: How Much Sex is Too Much?

                8. Power Plays, Dreams and Perfect Pacing 

                9. Overcoming Obstacles to Love & Lust

                10. Climaxes, False Starts and Denouements
 


All this and lots of information, tips and pointers on writing style, voice, point of view, dialogue, flashbacks, foreshadowing, creating drama, tension and, as you'd expect from the Academy, fast and effective writing, editing and polishing.

There will also be important follow up material and advice on preparing and submitting manuscripts for publication (for payment!) to women's magazines, romance agents and real world publishers like Harlequin Mills & Boon. A serious boost to your career whether you write, or just aspire to write short stories, novellas or longer works.

'The Writing Academy presents: An all-new investigation into the art and craft of writing great Romance fiction for fun and a fortune in profit' 

So, if you want to know how it's done, what it takes and just how easy it is to get it right, start the course now!

Here's what a couple of recent past students have to say:

           
   'Rob, I want to say how much I enjoy the lessons. They are broken down into digestible, do-able, learnable pieces. I think that's critical to facilitate learning, but it also presents a very non-threatening place to begin or to grow your career as a romance writer. You are very patient and careful with your critiques and answers to questions asked. 

   The nurturing atmosphere of your class is a big plus since we writers have such fragile egos. We are more sensitive I think. <G>

   I learned tons. I am keeping all the lessons because of the excellent start I got on the novel thanks to this class. Actually it gave me the format and courage I need for all the novels I want to write - my guide, reference and anchor. 

   I would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn to write, improve their craft, or just grow as a writer.

   Thanks for a very enjoyable, painless and well moderated learning experience.

          
    
Billie A Williams, Author of 'Death by Candlelight' and others

   P.S. I'm going to have to dedicate my first romance novel to you! <VBG>'

    Rob, 
    I can tell you the main reason why I liked your course.  It was to the point. 

    I love to read but I'll put down a book too wordy and/or if I miss the point.  Your examples with explanations were excellent...
            
    The extra supplements were good....and I like the question & answer sections.  

    Best of all was the positive attitude.   
            
    Thank you for all your hard work,
 
     Susan Tortorici, Writer
