Description

What is it that separates romance writing or women’s fiction from general fiction? Many writers feel they have a romance or women’s fiction and then are shocked when the story is rejected from an editor or agent because it really isn’t either of the two genres. Too often, there is a belief that if the story has a romance in it, or it is set in a romantic period of time, then it is a romance. The same holds true for women’s fiction. If it has a female protagonist, does it make it women’s fiction? In reality, there is much more to each of the genres.

This session focuses on understanding the key elements that make romance and women’s fiction novels truly strong. The session will allow participants to understand the definitions of each and what makes each genre stand apart from general fiction or literary fiction works. The session will also focus on what writers can do if they choose to write in these genres to make a strong story ready for editors and agents.

The session will also include a chance to provide criticism of pitch paragraphs to identify is the author is really "selling" his or her project.
