Why Western Romance Novels Are The Best

By Aimee Schwartz


The highest ranked genre of novels is the romantic novels and it is also the best-selling in North America. It is 40 percent of all the fiction books sold which means its market is high. Romance readers look for a new book every other day so the market is always good. The best romance author internationally and highly paid at that is Danielle steel closely trailed by the famous Nicholas sparks. Western romance novels need a lot of research.

There are a lot of flaws people make while writing a romantic novel from the western. You ought to do a lot of research and make sure you use it accurately. There are chances that you might overuse it or omit some important aspects and your novel might turn out to be really bad. If its a historical love novel, make sure you use the correct mode of transportation.

One thing you should never do while writing a novel is use perfect people to base your two main characters. It makes your characters predictable at the same time the story becomes boring. When the hero and the heroine first meet, they will be antagonists but as the story continues, they should be drawn towards each other. Build the interest of the reader as to how they will both end up together.

How can you make your story interesting? Bring the two main characters together quickly so that the reader will not wait for too long. Create a natural sounding dialogue between them every time they are together. Also, create inner conflicts so that there is something to look forward to.

There are tips to help an aspiring writer break into this genre writing. One of them is understanding the genre well. Romance writing has its own compilation of rules that you have to understand first. You have to plot around the connection of the hero and the heroine. The hero can be strong, charismatic and likable while the heroine is charming.

Familiarizing oneself with the market is important. Read as many recently published books as possible in the field you want to specialize in especially in the series category. You have to select a genre or subgenre you are comfortable in like: historical or contemporary romance, romantic comedy, erotic romance and then look for published books to read.

Is joining a writers club a wise idea? Its a really good idea because whenever you feel you are confused by a detail or two, you can simply talk about it with your group members and it actually becomes easier. The good thing is that you do not have to look for a group locally but in this age, you can also find an inline group. Also, read more books that explain how to write novels.

Basically, romantic novels are fantasies and the reader want the main characters to come out as heroes, that is, they should be role models to them. People they admire and want to live up to. Hardly do you find a hero to be a villain or having bad characteristics that no one wants to emulate their character, in fact, the result is that the novel becomes boring.
