Women's Fiction Writing Guides Books

The Forecast is in -- the future of romance is hotter than Arizona in August. But riding the wave to success takes more than stringing together a few love scenes or opening the bedroom door on your traditional romance. In this newly updated edition of her classic “how-to,” New York Times best-selling author Angela Knight shares the down and dirty details on writing adult romances that will have your readers haunting bookstores for your next book. Knight discusses how to construct a story with wildly sexy heroes and determined, courageous heroines, the romantic conflicts that keeps them apart, and the external conflicts that drive them together. She explains how to write fight scenes as well as love scenes, and the surprising things they have in common. She also explores the construction of dynamic, absorbing plots in which love scenes are crucial to the romance and not just skippable porn breaks. Write with Passionate Ink !

From fist fights to dragon duels: NYT bestselling author Angela Knight explores how to write fictional combat . As a novelist, teacher and editor, I’ve seen bad fight scenes ruin too many good stories. My objective in this book is to demonstrate how to write fights that keep readers on the edge of their seats -- and publishers begging for more. I’ll discuss how to use YouTube to research combat techniques and construct thrilling fights blow by blow. You’ll also learn how to use those fights to reveal character and build reader sympathy. I’ll demonstrate the warning signs of an anticlimax and what to do about it. I’ll show you how to build tension and excitement with every battle until you reach a climax that has the reader craving your next book. Note: This is an updated and heavily revised version of my book, How to Write Fight Scenes.
