There are many books about how to write romances, but this one seemed more modern and in style with the times. It stood out from the shelves at the bookstore and it was well worth the money to buy it. It makes you feel enthusiastic about writing that romance novel, standing apart from the other reference books.

This book covers so much more than writing. Ms. Michaels helps with understanding your style of romance, writing, plots, agent letters etc. It has been very helpful. Thank you Ms. Michaels

While this book contained excellent information, I believe the writer intended her audience to be beginning writers. If you've been writing seriously for any given period of time, the information conveyed here is repetitive. In fact, most of the information could be found on the Internet. If you're an intermediate or advanced writer searching for perspective, I'd suggest looking for another manual.
Rating:  -
If you're serious about writing for the romance market, this book is an invaluable guide. It's very professionally organized and filled with a wealth of useful information. Leigh Michaels knows her stuff, and this is the best guide on romance writing I've come across.
Rating: -
I found this book to be very helpful in writing fiction. It can be applied to other styles of writing besides romance
