Why Western Romance Novels Are The Best

By Aimee Schwartz


Romantic novels are the highest selling novels in North America which makes up to 40 percent fiction which means if your book is good, it will sell. Romance readers look for new books to read every day so it means the market is ever growing. The highest paid romance writer in the world is Danielle steel with close to $35 million back in 2011 followed by Nicholas Sparks. If you want to write western romance novels, you have to research on history of the west.

What should one be keen on when writing a romantic, western novel? After doing the research, do not ignore it because you might end up causing huge factual errors or moreover, do not use more than is necessary from your research. If you have decided, for example, to write a historical romantic western novel, get your facts right about transportation and cultures.

One thing you should never do while writing a novel is use perfect people to base your two main characters. It makes your characters predictable at the same time the story becomes boring. When the hero and the heroine first meet, they will be antagonists but as the story continues, they should be drawn towards each other. Build the interest of the reader as to how they will both end up together.

How can you make your story interesting? Bring the two main characters together quickly so that the reader will not wait for too long. Create a natural sounding dialogue between them every time they are together. Also, create inner conflicts so that there is something to look forward to.

For an aspiring writer, there are guidelines that one should follow while breaking into the love genre. Writing romantic pieces has its own rules to make the story interesting. First, you have to sketch around the rapport of the main characters, man and woman. Picture the hero to be a witty, humorous and a strong character while the heroine is a likable person too.

You have to be familiar with the market which means you have to read a lot of already published books especially the series kind. Select the genre or subgenre you like to write about for example; romantic comedy, erotic, paranormal, sweet, western and contemporary romance or historical romance then read published books on it.

Can one join a writers club? It is good to join a writers club and nowadays with the improvement of technology, you can join one online or locally, entirely your choice. When you feel overwhelmed, you can discuss the details with them and you will realize it actually helps a lot. Read books about romances to also give you more tips.

Romantic novels are fantasies that the readers want to experience. For example, while reading a romantic novel, you get to escape from the real world and fall for that man who in real life does not exist or maybe you will never date him because he is maybe too intelligent, rich or handsome or very powerful. The readers want a hero they can look up to; a role model.
