How This Course Works

This course is divided into two modules. All modules are open and available when you purchase the course. The lessons are all self paced.

MODULE ONE

First, you’ll determine where your sweet love stories belong in the Clean and Wholesome Romance marketplace so that the right readers can more easily find them. I’ll show you how to identify the Clean and Wholesome Romance category and subgenres using the bestseller charts. Next, you’ll mine the data of the bestsellers' lists so that you can see what readers are buying and craving more of. I’ll give you worksheets and show you exactly what and how to record the data to spot patterns that indicate what’s on trend and what’s evergreen. Then, I’ll show you how to find the intersection of what readers are buying and what you love to write. That is your fertile ground; the place in the market where you can feel confident about planting your story idea and watching it grow and flourish into a story that will feed readers’ imaginations. Before you start writing, we need to make sure you understand the beats and tropes of the Sweet Romance genre and subgenres so that you can make certain you’re meeting reader expectations.

MODULE TWO

Next, I’ll show you how to break down a Hallmark movie so that you can spot the pacing points that keep readers at the edge of their seats and eagerly anticipating your next scheduled release. Like going to the gym, this is how you train your Muse's muscles to spot and improve storylines. But be warned: you won't watch television and movies the same after this lesson!
