I also enjoyed the helpful writing excercises that are offered as well. I found this book to be really well written and helpful. The book is practical and straight to the point. The only thing I would have changed about this book is that I would have included more authors to draw from. Otherwise, this book is an excellent resource.
over, it was a much better novel.I thoroughly encourage any aspiring writer of this genre to grab this book. I have been able to bring so much more emphasis on the emotions and senses of both my Hero and Heroine after reading Gail's explanations.
My first Christian Novel is currently in the hands of an editor in N.Y. Just before I sent it over, I thought it was ready to approach the people concerned.
This book is absolutely fantastic. It has enabled me to produce a far better Manuscript.
However, after reading this book, I learnt SO MUCH. Even little things like 'said tags,' explaining how to bring in the feelings of each character, making sure it was 'feelings' not sight by the main character, which is impossible.
By the time I sent my M.S. Many many thanks, Gail.
This was on my wish list for a long time and I'm so impressed with it, I think I might need an extra copy. From plot to character to the spiritual emphasis of the book, no stone is left unturned.What makes me love this book even more is that in the Christian romance genre, perhaps several names could have written it. I keep referring to the book and the great chapter ending exercises that the book looks used and beaten.Ms. Martin gives a comprehensive look at writing the Christian Romance, using examples from her own work, as well as other respected authors. But Gail Martin did, giving up secrets and tips in order to help others. It's generous gift, this book, and I feel blessed to have it in my hands.
One of the most loved Christian Romance writers, Gail brings a wealth of knowledge to her topic. She covers every area of writing the Christian romance, from heroes and heroines to editing and submitting your work. If you're interested in writing Christian Romance, this is the book for you.
Gail's book has given me insights into my genre, as well as direction in technique. She has succinctly defined our category and provided a useful tool in a market previously lacking such a resource. Three cheers to Gail Gaymer Martin and Writer's Digest for meeting this need.
