This looks like a great site!

If you’re looking for topic ideas – could you deal with shifting POV? I’m getting conflicting info on whether I need to stay with one POV through
out a scene in series romance.
Also – Is there any website that will give me guidelines on number of chapters in each line?

Hi Nancy!

Thanks for joining us at RU. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for Brenda Novak’s post.

We do plan to host POV as a topic. It’s so broad that you’ll likely see it treated in a number of ways by various visiting professors. I think you’ll be especially interested in Alicia Rasley’s post on Friday, June 5th.

If you’re writing category romance, I encourage you to visit http://www.eharlequin.com if you haven’t already. Rather than set a specific number of chapters required, most lines have a word count range.

PS – let us know how you found out about us!

Hey ladies,

I heard about Romance University through an announcement to my RWA chapter.

I wasn’t aware that every time I commented it would show up on the sidebar. (g) I guess I’ll stop now. I’m still glad I was your first visitor. I’m going to give your link to my yahoo group.

I found out about you through a RWA loop — sorry, can’t remember which one. Love your site, just visited Brenda Novak’s post. I’m looking forward to future posts especially Alicia Rasley’s!

We found you on the Windy City RWA loop. So glad we did. Would like to learn more about specific promotional activities that are rewarding. Thank you!

Lara Lee – you can thank Adrienne for snagging Alicia Rasley. Also – we’re happy to take “special requests” for visiting professors with the understanding that all we can do is try! However, Tracey is the wonder woman of recruiting VPs.

K.M. – When you say promo activities that are rewarding, I assume you mean some advice from authors on what has and hasn’t worked in building up their readreships. Am I on track?
