About the Creator and Performer

With millions of books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author. Her international success started with her very first series, the Fixed Trilogy, which alone has sold more than one million copies, and earned her the coveted #1 spot on Amazon’s bestseller list in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, simultaneously. This title also was named in People as one of the top 10 most downloaded books of 2014. She’s also been #1 over all books at the Apple Book Store with more than one title in more than one country. She’s published both independently and with Macmillan, St. Martin’s Press, and Griffin imprints, as well as many other publishers around the world. Her works have been translated into 18 foreign languages. With her edgy, trope-flipped stories of smart women and strong men, she’s managed to secure herself among today’s romance royalty.
Paige has a bachelor’s degree in musical theater and a master’s of business administration with a marketing emphasis, and she credits her writing success to what she learned from both programs. While she loves psychological thrillers and witty philosophical books and entertainment, she is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching shows like Bridgerton or Succession, or dreaming of Michael Fassbender. She's also a proud member of Mensa International, though she doesn't do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio. She currently lives outside Austin, Texas.

This was a great overview of the romance genre. It was mostly aimed at beginners, though writers at any level could benefit from listening to it, in my opinion.

Perfect for writers new to the genre

A good resource for those just starting out and a review for those who haven’t written in a while. I like the light conversational tone Ms. Paige used in her narration. I wish there’s an accompanying workbook to jot down the action notes.

A useful resource

My biggest life-takeaway listening to this course was a reminder of my roots: theatre. Obviously, unintentional by the author but I’m so thankful for it (virtual hug to Laurelin Paige). I’ve struggled in my head what to write as a bio/intro, other than “she’s loved writing in one form or another since she was a preteen.” But I always felt as if I was missing something and that was it; the love of fleshing out characters whether it was directing, acting, analyzing, or writing them has been within me for as long as I can remember!

On a semi-less personal note, I found this quick course to be extremely beneficial as I’m writing my first (and definitely not my last) romance novel. Great tips and great reminders too. The part I’m the most anxious about, publishing, was presented fairly and gave me points to think about. I’m still on the fence on which side to jump to, but that’s future-me’s problem.

Inspiring

I thought this was a good reference. A couple things seem rather obvious if you read enough in the genre.

This is a wonderful guide to understanding romance literature better. It’s not an historical review of the genre, but a look at how it stands right now and it is designed to be useful to both readers and writers. I really enjoy books that help us to understand why we enjoy a story. I always find that it enhances my appreciation of what the author has accomplished when I become more aware of how they manipulate the reader through the use of tropes, archetypes, character development, and plots.

While I read in just about every genre, romance is not my mainstay, so I was not familiar with this author before encountering the book in my “included” section of my Audible membership. I also was not familiar with more than ninety percent of her examples. That didn’t harm my enjoyment of her work or lessen the usefulness of her tips. If you like romances, or have even a passing interest in how such books are developed, this is a must read. I will be looking for similar books in other genres. I think it has seriously enhanced my appreciation of the genre. And, as an author, even if I don’t write a romance, I think that many of Page’s tips about how to develop unique characters, and the growing feelings between characters, will be especially useful to me. For a writer of romances, I think that would be even more true.

I’m very glad that I stumbled across this book.

Both Interesting and Useful
