VIDEO – TEXT – QUIZZES – EXERCISES
Our Courses Are a Mixture of Video, Text, Quizzes and Writing Exercises
Our courses have been deliberately designed to encourage writers to learn as they write. Ideally, you’ll complete a full movie script as you work your way through the modules and lessons. Ultra-specific exercises that you can do even when you’re not online are peppered throughout the course, so you’re writing even on your daily commute!
Romantic Fiction is BIG Business…
Millions of women worldwide have become faithful fans of the Mills and Boon books. One of their top authors, Penny Jordan, has written more than 170 novels and sold more than 70 million books worldwide.
But how are you going to make your romantic erotic novel stand out on the crowded shelves?
Romances come in almost as many types as there are kinds of readers—from erotic fantasies to inspirational faith-based stories, from historical to contemporary, from dark suspense to light humor, from girl next door looking for Mr. Right to urban chick looking for a new fling.
> Do you have a story that is full of passion, intrigue and fantasy?
> Have you created a pair of characters fizzing with sexual chemistry?
> Can you write scenes that transport the reader to a world of desire, thrills and seduction?
We can take you through every step of the process of getting a Romance & Erotic novel written and published if you follow the lessons closely, complete the exercises, and develop your manuscript alongside your learning.
You can choose to study the entire course before working on a project, or you can incrementally use the lessons to help write your novel – whichever works best for you!

“Like many, I was drawn to write romance and erotic fiction by Fifty Shades of Grey. So the case study the course delivers on this was particularly interesting to me. I also found the module on the business of romance really enlightening”.
Give Your Novel The Best Start In Life…
The novel, so they say, is like a writer’s baby: you birth it, raise it, sustain it, and then release it in to the world. But there are so many pitfalls, both in terms of the artistic process, and The Industry. Skyrocket your odds of success with Write Romance Online Course – you won’t regret it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Here are the most common queries we’re sent about the course…
How long do I get access for?
Through purchasing the course you’re guaranteed lifetime (or as long as the course exists/is on sale, and we have zero intention of folding it!) access. You can take it once, twice, three times…or as many times as you want.
Is the course mobile-friendly?
Whilst it’s possible to take the course on tablets and mobile devices, you’re going to get the best experience taking it on Google Chrome, on a stable broadband connection.
Do I have to write a full novel while taking the course?
Whilst we highly recommend writing AS you move your way through the course modules, it’s not essential. Invariably you’ll have a lot of ideas for novels while taking it, so we strongly recommend jotting down notes and keep track of all your ideas as you go.
How many hours does it take to complete the course?
If you complete a full 120-page screenplay as advised, we’d estimate that completing the course and script will take in excess of 100 hours. And that’s before you get to the Bonus Materials. On the flip side, if you want to speed through the course that is probably achievable (though not recommended) within 20 hours.
