Nina consistently puts out pragmatic books on writing, and this was just as useful and practical as her others. I enjoy how specific she was about researching marketing, the various subgenres, craft, and publishing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Informative, basic, strait forward
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018
Verified Purchase
I downloaded this book because I want to take the leap from ghostwriter to author, and I hoped this book might give helpful tips on getting my first few books out there quickly.

This book did do this, it is strait forward and to the point. I particularly liked the end where she walks you step by step how to navigate KDP and their menus. I think that was the most valuable information honestly.

I gave this a 3 Star simply because As a ghostwriter, I guess I already knew all the plotting and writing stuff, just not what happens after that because I usually just write the manuscripts and send them, I don’t deal with the formatting or publishing side things.

Overall, a good read and would recommend to those who have never written before and a looking to get started. A good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pansters-Here's how to start a romance with a foundational beginning and panster the rest!
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2016
Verified Purchase
This book tied Vogler, Hauge and Truby studies into a simple "aha" moment of clarity and a chapter by chapter "of what should go where" . The latter part of the book was especially helpful. There are also supplemental materials that I just bought from her website at a very, very reasonable price. I got what I needed to tie up loose ends especially regarding romance and story. No theory, per say, just get 'it on the page for us pansters.
Note: Follow up. I just bought the paperback. Sometimes I buy a kindle e-book but I need to dog ear and often share it with others on my kindle device. I've bought other "reference books" after a kindle purchase. It's a Master Class. I bought other Nina Harrington books on Kindle e-reads. This is the first paperback I went back for. It's worth it. No I don't know her and yes I'm just a regular customer/writer like you. Peace!

A short but very interesting and useful guide to writing short romance. The advice is similar to what I've read elsewhere, but it is well presented and absolutely helpful and true. A book I will come back to as a reference time and again!

Nina does a great job in outlining the making of a commercial romance novel. From the psychology of the reader, to the content of the book, to the characters and how to put it together. This book has it all. And best of all it is a quick read!
