Tired of the mind-numbing rewrites? Stop the insanity! Here's how Bestsellers revise Chapter 1 to make money.

So you're writing Ch 1 for the 3rd, or 5th, or 100th time?

Wouldn't be great if you could...

Oh, I don't know...

FINISH THE BOOK?!

WARNING:  This course is brimming with cats: dancing cats, dapper cats, devious cats, ditzy cats... and chubby cats that steal pizza. (Sorry. I ran out of "D" adjectives.) For the rest of you, we included a couple of birds and a dog.

Want to write Romance? Let's be honest. Writing Chapter One sucks. Revising it (for the bazillionth time) is only slightly more fun than having your eyeballs plucked out and roasted. 

The soul-sucking nature of this task is not helped by amateur critics. They'll spout personal prejudice (or worse, hearsay) and insist it's gospel truth. For instance, how many times has a Literary Crusader fussed over your manuscript, advising, "You must eliminate all spelling and grammatical errors if you want to write Romance to sell!"

Hey, if a whiz-bang grammar app was all you needed to make a reader open her wallet, then you'd ALREADY be earning a paycheck, right?

You'd Better Write Romance Like a Pro!


Here's the truth: even a New York editor can overlook an occasional typo in Chapter One. What she cannot overlook is amateur storytelling.

If you're an Indie, who doesn't give a flip about Traditional Publishers, then let's talk Bottom Line. Romance readers "vote" with their pocketbooks. There's nothing more disheartening than watching your free book get zero downloads on Amazon.

Beautiful writing is not sufficient to earn an income. If you want to write Romance and make a living, then you must satisfy the expectations of the diehard readers, who've turned our genre into a multi-billion dollar industry.

Write Romance that Readers Want to Buy


Chapter One is a trial-by-fire. It requires sophisticated fiction-writing skills, which most aspiring Romance authors haven't mastered. Characterization and Plotting are just the beginning (and neither comes with a short learning curve.) In addition, your first chapter must demonstrate that you've developed a commercial fiction voice. If you choose the wrong Narrative Style when you write Romance, you'll commit sales suicide—on page one.

More daunting still...


Readers have long memories. So if you plan to write Romance for a living, your first chapter had better convince readers (and editors) that:

  • You've invented an interesting story premise;
  • You possess the skills to write heart-pounding emotion and sizzling sexual tension; 
  • Your story has enough romantic conflict to sustain a full-length novel.

Is it any wonder that some aspiring authors spend years writing Chapter One? (By the way, endless revisions are not the solution. You'll turn your story into a stale, homogenized tale—and that tragedy is guaranteed to kill sales.)

So What's the Solution? (Besides Jello Shots.) 


Well, for starters, a sense of humor helps. So does a bit of objectivity. At some point, you have to accept that you need help. REAL help. You know, advice from a professional with a track record—a teacher, whose students have been earning great reviews (and sometimes, impressive sales ranks.) 

Do I know a teacher like that? Well... Let's just say, she developed this course to help folks like you, who are DETERMINED to write Romance novels that readers want to buy...

Where Do I Start My (Freaking) Romance Novel?

This course consists of self-paced, online lessons, featuring helpful videos, writing challenges, and the strategies of bestselling authors. The lessons teach how to write commercial Romance.

(Not sure what a "commercial" novel is? Study Romances published by Harlequin, Avon, or Entangled.)

What's in it for me?

Wow! Tough crowd! Here's your answer: We'll set you straight. We'll show you what none of your writing buddies or Beta Readers have taught you so far. In other words, you'll learn EXACTLY how to write an opening chapter that readers want to buy.

You've got my attention! What else?

We'll unveil the 10 "Must-Haves" for the first scene of a successful Romance novel. We'll also share what story information MUST be revealed before you open Chapter 2.

I need visuals when I write Romance. 

Of course you do! Theory is boring, and frankly, it confuses people. To write Romance novels successfully, you need hands-on help. That's why we SHOW (rather than tell) how to fix a variety of red flags that are indicative of amateur writing.

Sounds good! But I want more...

You got it. How about 5 Writing Challenges; an entire BONUS Lesson; plus a beautiful Certificate of Achievement that you'll be proud to display?

Recommended by Publishers


There’s a difference between writing a story, and writing a story for a commercial audience. Very few authors make the transition to commercial viability. Adrienne is a gifted storyteller in her own right, and she has the ability to teach the craft to other writers. This is why we send writers to Adrienne when we see untapped potential.

I’m applying everything I learned from Adrienne to my (bestselling) novels. I really appreciate her advice and encouragement, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who would like to improve their writing.

I have listened to Adrienne speak at writing conferences and have been very impressed. In my fiction writing, she pinpointed weak areas quickly...which helped me get my first publication credit. She is a wonderful, inspiring writing coach and teacher.

Write Romance to Sell:

Here's what you'll learn in this course...

1

Lesson 1: Master the Scene 1 Formula

If you want to become a commercial success, your writing must make readers fall in love. This "mission" requires mastery of certain storytelling techniques. Lesson 1 shows you how to:

  • Develop a commercial fiction voice that evokes reader emotion
  • Choose the best character to narrate Scene 1
  • Emphasize the Romantic conflict between the hero and heroine
  • Prevent sidekicks and subplots from stealing the show
  • Apply the 10 Rules in the Scene 1 Formula
  • Lay the foundation for your entire plot.
  • Also in Lesson 1, you'll learn advanced techniques for turning Setting into a powerful ally for Characterization and Plotting. Three writing exercises will challenge your skills. 
  • To complete Lesson 1, a 15-question quiz will help you review key concepts.

2

Lesson 2: Maximize Page 1 "Real Estate"

In today's billion-book market, readers (and editors) are constantly looking for the Next Big Thing. They'll seize any excuse to close a book in the first paragraph! That's why savvy Romance authors set out to maximize page-one real estate. In Lesson 2, you'll learn:

  • 5 clever tactics to elicit reader emotion
  • 11 sneaky strategies to seize a reader's attention
  • 5 newbie fails that confuse readers (and drive them away)
  • Also in Lesson 2, you'll receive our "bestseller tips" on character exposition.
  • In addition, we've provided 2 writing challenges to stretch your skills.
  • To complete this lesson, a 15-question quiz will help you review key concepts.

Lesson 3: Fix Common Flaws that Hurt Sales

Aspiring authors are still learning their craft. They may not recognize when Beta Readers spout Urban Myth or personal bias. To steer aspiring authors in the right direction, we help you identify: 

  • The 3 stages of scene-writing
  • The only "stage" of scene-writing that readers want to buy
  • 6 writing traps (or glaring flaws) that reveal an author's amateur status
  • Techniques used by bestselling authors to fix global plotting flaws (that wreck havoc on sales and that spring straight from Chapter 1!)
  • To complete Lesson 3, a 15-question quiz will help you review key concepts.

4

BONUS LESSON! 

Story Analysis (or "developmental editing") is an advanced skill that's crucial to your success. We provide a safe, non-threatening environment so you can analyze the first chapter of an unpublished, Romance manuscript. You will be guided step-by-step through this exercise, so you can pinpoint flaws in a (fictitious) author's work. We added this lesson due to popular demand. Our goal is to help you:

  • Understand why books get rejected
  • Identify why readers lose interest
  • Develop fresh insights into your storytelling style
  • Grow confidence as an editor, and
  • Improve proficiency as a plotter.
  • When you complete this final lesson, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement.

(Adrienne's) Chapter 1 course was jam-packed with insider knowledge. I was especially grateful for the Bonus Lesson on "story analysis," because it helped me recognize—and fix—the flaws in my writing. If you're serious about making money as a commercial Romance author, I would highly recommend Adrienne's courses.

My Friend,

You write from the heart. That's why nothing's more painful than tearing apart pages to please an audience. Eventually, you start thinking that none of your ideas will ever be good enough. That's the insanity talking. You CAN write the story in your heart. You CAN earn a living writing Romance—if you learn the rules of the game. This course was developed for one specific purpose: To give you the Keys to Success. Sure, you can keep blindly revising Chapter One (if you enjoy the struggle.) Or you can enroll in this course right now and learn what every wildly popular, bestselling author had to learn: how to write an opening chapter that readers want to buy.


Remember: Writing Romance is your dream job. I'm here to help.


Hugs,


Adrienne
