I set myself the goal of reading and reviewing 52 writing guides over the year. Here is book 14.
How to Write Short Romance Kindle Books by Nina Harrington, claims to be a 40-minute read/masterclass. My version was part of a bundle, and I think it took me just about an hour to read it from start to finish.
It’s a great little step-by-step read that does exactly what it says on the cover. Each “step” is presented in an order that would probably work for most.
There are no exercises as such, but if each chapter is taken as an exercise, then again, that would probably work.
A whole chapter is devoted to the actual Kindle procedure while another is dedicated to marketing your work – the latter being something a lot of authors are now having to do for themselves anyway.
I think the advice in this book would apply to most Kindle books, rather than just romance. But short romance reads are, apparently, doing very well.
How to Write Short Romance Kindle Books is available on Kindle, as a standalone for £2.41 ($3.09), or in a bundle £5.39 ($6.92), and in paperback for £3.99 ($5.99). The bundle isn’t currently available in paperback.
