Writing Romance in the Caribbean?? the market Un-explored and the ten decisions you

The books are a continuing source of entertainment for those who are bored with television and sport, and for those whose thrill in life is to curl up with a good book. There is no shortage in the kinds of books published each year and while one can debate that kind of book is more successful than the other. There is no doubt that romance novels are the best-seller list every year and is signed by millions of readers around the world. If you visit your local store and see the fiction section, your heart? Ll definitely find romance novels, especially books that are sold in areas such as Mills & Boon and Harlequin.
  Billions of dollars are made each year in the industry and one can now ask what happens to the Caribbean market. The fact is that the Caribbean as a market and a source of romance novels and novelists is little explored and in the case of published novelists is almost nonexistent. This is because the more established romance publishing houses do not necessarily publish Caribbean writers in that genre. So what are the options for Caribbean writers who want to write and publish the romance of the Caribbean? Obviously, there are some decisions that have to happen before hand.
  1. DECISION # 1 SHOULD I write fiction or nonfiction
  â? ¢ This is a big question for new writers. They are concerned about what is publishable and what they can earn the most revenue. Most publishers agree that nonfiction books are best sellers in particular when they are contemporary in its approach and appeal to a broad audience.
  â? ¢ However, there is a large market for fiction. It may become an important revenue source if properly explored and sufficient. However, the choice is yours or not go to fiction or nonfiction.
  â? ¢ Caribbean readers of fiction are more oriented to non-fiction oriented. The fact that non-fiction is a best seller in the U.S. not necessarily true for the Caribbean, with the exception of textbooks. When readers read for leisure Caribbean who prefer to read good fiction from a book on motivation or self-help.
  â? ¢ If your goal is for a public intellectual, then non-fiction is the way forward. However, if your goal is for the general public and that???? S in income, then non-fiction is your ideal choice.
  â? ¢ You might ask, what is the scope of fiction writing in general in the Caribbean. The fact is that Caribbean writers are excellent fiction writers. You just have to think outside the box and package and market their products properly.
  2. DECISION # 2 should write romance or GENERAL FICTION
  â? ¢ The success of the Mills and Boon / Harlequin books that has millions of readers around the world and thousands of millions per year is proof that there is a large market for romance novels.
  â? ¢ The fact also that a percentage of that market are the readers of the Caribbean makes it an even more exciting prospect for new writers of Caribbean romance.
  â? ¢ A Caribbean audience gravitate toward the authors of the Caribbean? There has always been a problem of acceptance for the writers of the Caribbean and in particular when it comes to certain genres like the novel. This is because earlier writers were not following the trend in the business referred to the preference of readers. When a reader buys a romance novel, they are looking for exactly romance, and romance for them means a story with a fairy tale ending but with a plot that leads to life as closely as possible.
  â? ¢ romance fiction readers are women and most readers or the Caribbean are women, so the possibilities are endless for writing romance.
  3. DECISION # 3 How can I start one???? IDEA EXCHANGE OF IDEAS
  â? ¢ This is where the excitement of the start and many writers of developing writers block. The best way to avoid this is what I call?? Flooding the houseâ ????. When water flooded a house, all within reach of the water is saturated. The idea here is to saturate or flood your mind with ideas and you can do this in several ways:

Read multiple romances
Dream day???? allow your mind to wander to all sorts of possibilities. Making up stories in her head when lying down or relax.
Visit a romantic place.

  â? ¢ After your heart???? sees a brainstorm and reach a general idea of your book, write synopsis possible and ask your friends close, that sounds like novel reading material.
  â? ¢ Filter idea then, Research, Research, Research! This Cana???? Do not be overstated. It is necessary to investigate the role and functions of its main characters, their locations and every idea that forms an important part of his book. If you are creative enough and can get to places that sound fictional real, then thumbs up for you. If you want your book to come across as realistic, however, requires research.
  â? ¢ How do I research? The obvious choice in this age of information is the Internet, and certainly not the good book from the library of age. There are a lot of resources out there waiting to be explored. Just do your homework.
  4. # 4 decision to choose a hero and heroine ARCHETYPE
  â? ¢ So you have your idea and your heart?? thinking about his hero and heroine. This is where most new writers that most of the errors. Most new writers have their particular favorite character prototype and tend to think that people will love what they love. This is not always true. People gravitate toward certain essentially prototypes, and is the force and the possibility of selling the characters to make your book sell. So what are salable the hero and heroine?

  â? ¢ Her heroines, however, must reflect the culture from his audience of that culture and will want to see a woman like themselves achieving the objectives of the heroines and of course the capture of the coveted hero archetype.
