Writing A New Contemporary Romance Novels

By Kerri Stout


Romance novels always leave you in a state that you want to read more and more of them. Sometimes they make you feel like you can write your own new contemporary romance novels only to realize that you don't know how to. If you have the qualities of a great writer then applying these tips will see you on your way to publish your first novel very soon.

Expectation among the many romance genre readers is very high and you have to publish a novel that satisfies them. Any low quality publication will not be tolerated by the readers and negative reviews on it will follow. It is crucial to write your best in every new book you publish not to fall below their expectations and end up with a loyal fan club of readers who will be more than ready to buy all your new work

Characterization is the important part of the book. Creating all your characters in the first few chapters and making them to be compelling you will keep your readers glued to your book up to the back cover. The main characters should be given high qualities or made as heroes to be loved by your readers. The character development should go on throughout the book and they should not be predictable.

Early development of the plot of your novel gives readers an idea of what the novel is all about and this keeps them reading. Complex plots or exaggerated plots should be avoided. Proper plot development enables fitting of characters properly and this makes your book logical to the reader. Logic is important as it determines how well your novel structure fits what the reader expected.

Don't try hard to start the story at the beginning, let it start where it starts. Choose a scene that will make your readers hold their breath when reading the first page. Make it very intense in a good way that will make them say they can't wait to open the next page. Try to make it emotion filled as the first impression always lasts. A boring start will discourage them from reading the rest of the book

Find ways to make your hero or heroine be loved by your readers in first 3 chapters of your book. If the readers get a soft spot for them they will keep reading. Your characters will be judged by their actions and words in the building and this perception on them will last through the last page of the book so make them be the best they can be in the beginning.

Your targeted readers should determine the age of the characters you use. The readers want a character they can relate with. If you are writing a book for teenagers you need to write one based on teenage love with dialogue appropriate to that age. The characters for teenagers should be 18 to 24 years of age. Above this age the character you create will be targeting adult readers. What you write should be believable

Every good romance novel has a great end to it. You can choose to end the story as per the expectation of your readers that is, the main characters getting together happily or make an unfortunate turn of events such as the one in the famous Romeo and Juliet book. The end to your new contemporary novels is what will be remembered and most likely your book will be rated on. Make it outrageous.
