À propos de cet audio

What makes a romance novel a romance? How do you write a kissing book?

Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre - something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats, and the external plot and theme need to be braided to the romance arc - not the other way around.

Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat is like sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure - the way she does with her clients, some of whom are regular inhabitants of the New York Times and USA Today best-seller lists.

Romancing the Beat is a recipe, not a rigid system. The beats don't care if you plot or outline before you write, or if you pants your way through the drafts and do a "beat check" when you're revising. Pantsers and plotters are both welcome. So sit down, grab a cuppa, and let's talk about kissing books.

This is a fantastic resource for those who want to write romances. It doesn't get into tropes but does provide a sound overview of the mechanics of a romance. I would have liked the book to be longer and to have explored in greater depth how different subgenres influence the romance mechanics because not all plot beats can be stacked when crossing genres. Narration was fantastic.

A great book for romance structure

Great quick listen to keep your writing honest. I listen to it when I'm going on a pre-writing walk to get my game face on. And very well performed.
