About the Series

There's more to "Writing to Market" than calling your hero a Billionaire and putting him in a suit on the cover.

But what if you don't have time to read a dozen Small Town romances or a dozen Cowboy books or a dozen Nanny/Single Dad romances, hoping you can glean the patterns and expectations of these markets?

That's where we come in.

The Romance Writer's Encyclopedia is doing the legwork for you. Using our unique Framework Trope method, which separates tropes into categories based on how they impact your story, we examine each trope, explain why readers love it, and clue you in on the unspoken expectations of the trope, as well as some pitfalls you might encounter while writing.

This is far more than a book with an unexplained list of tropes or broad advice for writing romance. This is an encyclopedia, and each entry is detailed, but easy to understand. It will leave you excited and prepared to write a romance that delivers deep reader satisfaction based on the premise you've designed.

Whether you use the books to brainstorm, plot, edit, or help with marketing your books - this collection is sure to become one with a permanent place on your craft book shelf.
Volume 1 - Romance Character Tropes is now available wherever books are sold!

A few of the more than 30 tropes featured include Alpha Male, Billionaire, Single Parent, Pirate, The Grump, Damsel in Distress, Cinnamon Roll, Seasoned Characters, Cowboy and more.
Available for pre-order on the following retailers (more coming soon):
