For your characters to find love, something needs to change. You can't write your way to an HEA keeping everything status quo. #pubtip

If your characters have nothing standing in the way of their happiness, that makes for a boring, episodic book. Bring on the obstacles.

Conflict is key! #pubtip twitter.com/EmilyRodmell/s…

It’s a fine line between “confusing because writer doesn’t give enough info” and “boring bc there’s too much back story”. Find the balance.

When writing black moments, consider The Gift of the Magi. Giving up something important, like a huge goal, for love is powerful. #pubtip

Friendly reminder: When torturing your characters, make it last! The key to torture is that it doesn't end quickly. #pubtip

"They fall in love" is not a romance novel plot. That's the minimum requirement. Plot = how that happens against all odds. #pubtip

Romance writers, please take note. #pubtip twitter.com/EmilyRodmell/s…

The longer you keep a story element secret from your readers, the bigger the payoff should be when you finally reveal it. #pubtip

The words "up" and "down" are often extraneous in writing. Instead of "sit down," "stand up" or "open up," just use "sit," "stand" & "open."

Unless the police are telling someone to "Open up!" :) #pubtip twitter.com/shana_asaro/st…

Peter Senftleben @gr8thepeter

What's at stake in your book? Are they high enough for readers to care? Does your #query accurately convey that?

So important! No matter what you're writing, high stakes are crucial. #pubtip twitter.com/gr8thepeter/st…

Rejection is never fun, but don't lash out and burn bridges. Use it to fuel your determination to do better next time. #pubtip
