Book Reviews of How to Write a Romance and Get It Published: Updated Edition

Book Review: A Rather Complete Education In The Genre
Summary: 4 Stars

Never mind the tips and pointers about how to get yourself published. You've probably heard it all before.

The true worth of this book is in the complete education it offers those who dare undertake it. Essentially, I mean the history of the romance genre. I took away book titles from this tome that I had never heard of before, read them, loved them, and felt that I came away with a deeper and better understanding of the genre. There's so much more to be read and studied than what's available on the current top hits of romance.
