Writing A New Contemporary Romance Novels

By Kerri Stout


Reading romance novels creates a desire of reading more and more of contemporary romance novels. They can even make you take your PC to start writing new contemporary romance novels only reality to hit you that you don't have the knowledge and skills on doing it. You can have qualities of a great writer but just like a diamond which has to be cut for its beauty to show, you need some tips on how to write.

This genre has a great following that comes with very high expectations. If you author a book, the readers expect a certain level of performance. Your name as an author is your brand and thus you need to create something that the readers can associate with and that they cannot get enough of.

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.

Plot of your story brings the second tip. Don't take too long in making the plot. By the end of your second chapter anyone reading your book should be able to say what the story is based on or what is to be expected. Your characters are enhanced by your plot so make it great.

Starting where the story starts is the way to go. The first page in the first chapter should start with a emotion filled scene that sets the rest of the story. The scene should be very interesting and full of intensity to make your readers squirm. Some readers will not even read the second page of a boring first page romance novel.

The emotions that a reader can identify with should be developed in the first few chapters of the novel. The heroine or hero should be part of these emotions for a better effect. The initial impression given to the reader about a certain character will not change at advanced stages of reading. Giving a lasting impression is essential to a good novel. The emotions, in our case, are love and thus the love should be developed from an early stage.

Choosing the age of your main character will determine the age of the readers you are targeting. You don't expect middle aged readers to read a book on teenage romance. The best age of your characters for an adult romance novel should be at least 30 years of age or around that figure. This is relatable to the life experiences they have. Teenagers would love hero and heroine of between the ages of 18 to around 24. Give your characters believable dialogue that can happen in real life and not in wonder world.

One of the most anticipated things in a novel is the ending. This may be a happy ending or the events leading to the end of the novel may make an unanticipated change to surprise the reader. A climax of events towards the end of the story builds up a great ending that will be remembered for long by your readers. Making the final chapter of your new contemporary romance novel great will have a lasting impression on your readers.
