Is Your Hero Costing You Sales?
Course Description:
You won’t sell Romance novels unless readers fall in love with your hero. Period.
The trouble is, men have been mystifying women for centuries. So how is a female Romance writer supposed to create that all-important male protagonist if she doesn’t understand how men think?
This course goes far beyond the nuts and bolts of choosing your hero’s hair color. Through concrete writing examples, you’ll learn:
-
- How men (and women) think and communicate;
- How to develop male and female characters through point of view, dialogue, body language, and GMC (goal, motivation, and conflict;)
- The positive and negative traits of Alpha and Beta personalities (so you can develop complex, interesting, and memorable characters;) and
- Strategies for writing heroes and heroines that modern-day readers can admire.
