This is where we talk about writing romance. Everyone is welcome! Tips Corner is an interactive learning format rather than teaching. We all love to read or write romance and whether we realise it or not, are experts and have ideas to offer. There are many 'how to' guides on writing romance so rather than provide another one here, we will learn from each other. There are no right and wrong answers and what works for one person mightn't for another. Hopefully our discussions will inspire us write the stories that attract gazillions of readers.
