Book excerpt: Contemporary romance novellas are fun, light, quick reads. Usually less than 50,000 words, about the many ways that men and women meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after.Maybe predictable, if you've read enough of them, but for a writer that just means this is a great format to start a career with. This book will help you:1. Learn a simple plot structure for a romance novella2. Set a reasonable and practical writing schedule3. Finish the manuscript and prepare it for publicationLessons in this book were used in a free mentorship program that has helped writers (and people who never thought they'd be writers!) finish their very first fiction manuscript.(Note: Some of the publishing and writing advice is specific to the Philippines and Asia, where the class was first held.)
