How to Become a Sexy and Rich Romance Author

The Romance category is the most popular of all literary genres and contains a number of specialty sub-genres, including: Chick-lit, up-scale contemporary, historical, suspense, and fantasy. As a Romance E-book author you can become rich and famous if you; have the imagination to tell engaging stories, by developing a marketable 'personality', and by following the secret writing outline that turns everything from Disney films to Danielle Steel books into mega-hits.

Why Romance E-Books Today?

The publishing world is undergoing revolutionary change driven by technology, economic turmoil, by the digitally-oriented youth market, as a result of 'horizontal' social network marketing, and because of the multi-years investment required to write, publish and market a traditional book. Even then, 95-99% of new authors are often rejected hundreds of times before obtaining agent and publishing contracts, and the majority never earn back even their relatively small initial book advances, at the same time that relative novices, with some mentoring, are becoming financially free from becoming E-Writerpreneurs by following these basic steps.

1) Produce the Best Romance Story Possible:

There's a secret writing blueprint that every mega-hit film or book follows as I discovered while in the UCLA Writing and Film program. It shortcuts your writing efforts and empowers your story, too. Any writer's first concern should always be creating the highest quality story. This will build you fans for future books and you'll also attract offers from publishers and even Hollywood producers, too. Many bestselling books and films began as e-books.

2) Develop Your Romance Writer Image:

Like it or not the fact is that in America, image is everything. A Romance author's image does not need to be movie star beautiful or young, but it does help to be a standout reflection of your sub-genre. Think of your favorite romance author's recognizable style, how it fits her category, and how that attracts a following. Your image must be consistent and cohesive to be successful including with your website and e-book covers.

3) Be a Romance Writer E-Marketing Whizbang:

The good news with e-marketing is that it requires not lots of money, but creative strategy and some techie savvy that you can acquire on your own or with a coach. You must slant your book's title and story to the demographic markets that buy your genre, and that requires forward planning and research, and then knowing how to attract that market to your website. Some writers can create near immediate viral hits through clever PR, for others it will require more effort.

The never-ending popularity of the romance genre proves that nothing is sexier than a heroine determining her own destiny. Be the heroine of your own story. Become a Romance E-Book writer and discover that riches and a whole new life and financial freedom awaits you.
