Overall, I like the course. As a beginner to the romance writing genre, I find the content to be engaging. I particularly liked the idea of examining romance novels for character development, beginnings, endings, romantic twists and turns and so on. I also very much appreciate the suggestions for generating ideas as in lesson 3. The tasks in each lesson are interesting and easily completed on an ongoing basis.

I love the course. I didn’t know much about the genre or how to start with character development and plot line but the lessons help.
Denarius Owens
The order of the emails is well planned, and the format is easy to read. I like the distinction between this course and the Novice to Novel writing course. Though both share a lot of the same information, this is better for someone who has already figured out that they are writing romance.
