It's a soup-to-nuts guide to write, publish, and market a Romance novel with vivid older characters. But before we get to how to do it, let's talk about... Why You Should Write Seasoned Romance Back in the day, I could not wait to retire from my technical writing career to write every sexy, vibrant story I had in my head. Then I read an article in the New York Times Book Review section by a Romance writer in her fifties giving advice to her sister writers. Her message in a nutshell: If you want to get published, create characters in their twenties. Was the publishing industry that ageist? Had the demands of career and parenting made me miss the boat? No way would I let that happen. Right then and there I decided to push back by writing sexy characters my own age. The good news is that traditional publishers have been through a sea change in recent years. indie publishing is eating their lunch, partly because more diverse voices are represented- including the voices of older women. Meanwhile the number of people over sixty keeps growing, and older women read a lot. We make up almost half of the enormous market for Romance novels. And many of us want to read about the love lives of people our age, not our children's ages.
