KJ Charles
Think, Write, Edit, Romance is a smart, practical, and deeply reassuring guide to writing romance novels from one of the genre’s most respected voices.
Drawing on more than 20 years as a professional editor and the author of over 35 successful romance novels, KJ Charles takes readers through the entire creative process, from the blank page to a clean, submission-ready manuscript. This is not a book of rigid formulas or beat sheets. Instead, it focuses on how stories actually work, helping writers understand character, conflict, structure, and revision at a deep, usable level.
Organized as a “Writer’s Progress,” the book moves step by step through the stages of writing. Early chapters address generating ideas, shaping premises, and developing character and conflict. The middle sections focus on drafting, including point of view, pacing, dialogue, sex scenes, and getting unstuck when a project stalls. The final section offers unusually detailed guidance on revision, covering developmental, line, and copy editing with clarity and candor.
Written with Charles’s signature wit, authority, and no-nonsense compassion, Think, Write, Edit, Romance respects the intelligence of romance writers and the genre itself. It is a craft book for authors who take romance seriously and want to produce work that is emotionally satisfying, structurally sound, and professionally polished.

"I've long known KJ Charles as a mesmerizingly fine author of historical romance; what I now know, via Think, Write, Edit, Romance, is that she possesses not only an incisive understanding of her genre (which is not perhaps unexpected) but the ability to communicate, for the benefit of other writers, clearly and incisively, how her genre works (a rare talent), from characterization to plotting to, of course, sex. As well, she offers up here the sort of expert advice on the nuts and bolts of prose, from punctuation to grammar, that makes my copyeditorial heart sing. And if that weren't enough, she does it all engagingly and wittily. I can't imagine a writer, of romance or of anything else, who won't find much that's invaluable in these pages." —Benjamin Dreyer, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer's English
