It's confession time. I buy all of Marg McAlister's books. She is the writer's writer because she manages to provide, in succinct, readable form, information about everything the beginning writer should know and the experienced writer needs to revise regularly.  Marg understands that writers are usually busy people, often working full time and trying to develop a writing career in their 'spare' time. 'Tips on Writing Romance' covers everything the budding romance writer needs to know. Not only does Marg offer excellent information about plot, character development, motivation and conflict, she also provides tips and examples of how to add the emotional depth our best romance writers achieve. Her chapter on Emotional Punch alone is worth the cost of the book. Marg also gives great advice on how to show, not tell, how to use setting to increase emotional tension, even how to write sex scenes.My second confession is I'm a failed romance writer; this book might just encourage me to try again.
