How to Write and Sell Your Romance & Erotica Boot Camp

This program will show writers of romance and erotica the following:

  • What the difference is between romance, erotica, new adult, and women’s fiction—and why it matters to understand how the categories differ
  • How the different categories or genres are viewed, who the target readers are, and how that affects what agents and publishers you will target
  • Why an agent will tell you, “I love this story, but I can't sell it”
  • How to start your work strong and create engaging characters for both editors and readers to love
  • How to craft a interesting and likeable story—focusing on the elements of each category
  • How to create a story arc that works, thinking in terms of standalones and series potential
  • How to create interesting conflicts with satisfying resolutions
  • How to decide if you should follow a traditional or self-publishing model—which choice will work best for you and for your project.
  • How to prepare a successful submission package
  • How to avoid the common mistakes that sink submission chances, such as:
    • talking down to your reader
    • not having a redeemable or well developed character, solid plot, or strong hook
    • having a story that begins too slow or other plot development or pacing issues
    • not following guidelines
    • not choosing the right agent or editor
    • boasting about the work to sell it instead of describing it in the best possible light
