Book Review: ROMANCING THE BEAT by Gwen Hayes

.

Are you a writer? Are you interested in writing fiction? (Romance or other genre?) If so, this affordable title will provide significant help with the mysterious challenge of plotting.

At the time I discovered this book I’d written and published more than a dozen titles. I had so many “ah ha!” moments, I desperately wished I’d found it far sooner. Consequently, I’ve recommended it in person and through email to numerous romance-writing friends. I’ve given copies of the book to author friends. In addition, I’ve read and re-read the kindle copy I purchased. Amid Gwen Hayes’s humor and pop-culture references (1980s music), the succinct, clear, brilliant nuggets of “how to plot a romance” made the clearest form of sense to me. Personal epiphanies experienced while studying this title immediately improved my writing.

How could I keep a find like this to myself?

Romancing the Beat: Story Structure for Romance Novels by Gwen Hayes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ROMANCING THE BEAT caused so many epiphanies and realizations about writing romances, specifically, that I’ve already told many romance author friends about the value of this book. I highlighted, applied much of it to my personal Scrivener Template, and am applying it to my current work in progress. Brilliant! Thank you, Gwen Hayes!
