Great Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I totally loved this book. After reading the book I had a question about pen names. I called Kathryn Falk directly and she was kind enough to answer my question. The book has a lot of great information in it.
Kathryn's Advice Worked for Me
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I picked up the book at the mall and skimmed through it. Although there was a lot in there that didn't interest me there was a lot that did. It gave a lot of helpful information on how to develop your book for the new markets. Her advice worked. I sold my first book in 2001, my second in 2002 and I sold a third book this January. Her formulas and methods worked for me. While they may not be helpful to everyone she has my sincerest thanks for guiding me into being a published author.
Thank you Kathryn...

I first read Kathryn Falks book 15 years ago when I was only 18. It inspired me so much that I decided to write to Kathryn and ask for some personal advice. To my surprize she answered my letter. Her suggestion was for me to wait and experience life and romance of my own before I began to write. She was even kind enough to invite me to a writers convention in New York to listen in and meet other writers. Although I was unable to go, her words of encouragement inspired me. I am now 33 and a mother of four and have started writing a novel. I am glad I waited because life has taught me so much over the past 15 years. Thank you Kathryn for listening and taking the time to write to a young girl who needed those words of encouragement. I think your book is great. I have read it many times and I always refer back to it when I have a problem with my writing.
The Best Romance Reference Book Available!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I've spend hundreds of dollars on various romance novel writing guides and books...But yet I still come back to this one. This is, by far, the best romance novel writing guide available. If you are serious about romance writing, you must read this book. My copy is so worn from use that I had to buy another.
Excellent reference for it's time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I read this years ago, and for it's time(when it was published) it was the only reference tool on how to write a good romance and sell it to the publishers. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is the vast and rapid changes in the romance market since then. But the articles by such people as Bertrice Small, and other romance role-models still make it a must buy, if for nothing but those :)
