The romance fiction industry thrives on relationship storytelling that titillates, enthralls, satisfies its aficionados. Here is a book that translates the principles of romantic fiction and research into a viable romantic screenplay for that box office hit that will be a must-see film. Explanations include the difference between a love story and a romance, the Relationship Plane, the Steps of Intimacy, romance's unique characterization requirements, romance as main plot vs. subplot and much more.What the Reviewers say …"e;I plan to keep Romantic Screenplays 101 within reach on my desk at all times. Romantic Screenplays 101 should be a requirement in all writing classes and for all writers, both the novice and the professional. Ms. Walker's manual demonstrates step by step not only how to construct a romantic screenplay but, more importantly, why the writer constructs a romantic screenplay in this fashion. (The man who knows how will always have a job; the man who knows why will always be the boss.) I plan to source back to Romantic Screenplays 101 not only when I am caught in a quagmire of writing but also in my personal relationships-the book is just that downright invaluable in all areas."e;-Parris Afton Bonds, best selling author and one of seven founding members of RWA
