Rating: Summary: Great Book packed with info for beginning writers! Review: Before I read this book I wanted to write romance books. Although, I just didn't know if I had what it took to go for it. This book helps beginning writers to give a little push when needed. After reading this book I'm ready to type away I can't wait till I'm finished with my manuscript just to see what happens. Julie helps to let beginners now what to expect and what not to expect. Over all this is an excellent book for anyone who wants to write a romance or has written a romance. I will use this book to look back on whenever in need :)
