F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Character is plot, plot is character.” And he was right.

We come to understand characters the same way we do people in real life: by watching them act, struggle, and make choices.

Few romance novels are just about the romance. To craft a page-turner, aim to intertwine two arcs: the protagonist’s quest and the romantic core.

Here are some tips about how to get there 💋

In The Old Man and the Sea, #writers learn that simple doesn’t have to mean simplistic. Hemingway shows us:

• how the #protagonist can also be the #antagonist
• how a story can have layers of meaning
• how movement can contribute to structure

"I'm just not connecting with the voice" is one of the most common reasons given for a rejection by agents and publishers. But what the heck is voice, and how do you nail it?

Let's get right to the heart of the matter: VOICE is all about POV.

The Intersection of Voice and POV

The easiest way to think about POV is as a lens that you hand the reader and say, "here, you will now be viewing the world through this slightly warped piece of glass."

Writers can learn a lot from Madame Bovary:

• How a character’s flaw can drive a story
• How POV shapes reader sentiment
• How to use irony to comment on your themes
• Why your characters' illusions can be just as important as their goals

Cover advice please!

1) We have a designer. This is a mockup.

2) How much information do you think we should include on the cover? If we eliminate the subtitle (plot-point breakdowns of famous novels), would you guess the topic?

3) Any other suggestions?
