"When I wanted to write for publication, this book did not answer a lot of my questions, BUT it did help me to understand the formulas and patterns of the genre (baby steps...)."
"This book is a must read for anyone interested in writing romance. All the subgenres of romance are discussed in different chapters. Its nice that Pianka decided to do a well rounded novel instead of just a generic genre book.
The advice is excellent. She gives plenty of great examples as well as what not to do in a book. She offers an expaination on why not to do some things. Its all great advice. Of course she also goes into great detail on formating, which is very important. The book is an excellent too for writers wishing to get started."
