Graphic: Bookworm.     Links Worth a Look


I'm not big on sharing links.  I'm practically doing cartwheels because you came to visit my web site, so why would I want to send you elsewhere?

That said, some secrets are too good not to share with my fellow romance writers.  So here goes:

If you're serious about writing romance, consider joining  Romance Writers of America.  (I believe their monthly magazine, Romance Writers' Report, is worth the price of membership all by itself.)  The RWA  website is helpful and informative, but as a member you'll have access to many more pages of articles and tips.

Many of the RWA chapters have excellent websites stuffed with good writing tips.  One of my favorites is  The Heart of Denver Romance Writers, which at my last visit had 149 very well organized "how-to write" articles.  (You need not be a member to view these.)

Harlequin Enterprises, which owns Steeple Hill Books, has a mega-website packed with information for both romance fans and aspiring writers.  Take a look at  eHarlequin.com. 

If you're interested in "inspirational" romance, visit  SteepleHill.com.  There you'll find information on all the Steeple Hill books and authors, plus a very active message board where a couple of dozen Steeple Hill authors (like me!) participate regularly.  Even the editors pop in from time to time to answer questions about writing for Steeple Hill.

Here's another good resource site for writers:  Romance Central has a  Writers Workshop with lots of helpful articles.

If money's tight and you're feeling sorry for yourself because you can't afford any "how to write romance" books, here is my very best tip:   Head over to  Charlotte Dillon's Resources for Romance Writers.  You'll find more helpful articles at this site than you'll be able to read in several sittings.  Bookmark the site and keep going back until you've sucked it dry.  Trust me--that will take a while!
