About Us
Empower Writers ~ Entertain Readers ~ Understand Men
Romance University’s (RU) Purpose
Dedicated to helping writers establish and advance their careers, introducing readers to a variety of authors, and delving into the ever-inscrutable male mind.
Monday: Crafting Your Career
Most writers begin writing because they love the process–using just the right word, crafting the perfect sentence, giving life to imaginary people. However satisfying the writing process, many writers begin to want more. The want people to read about and love those imaginary folks. Okay–they want people to pay to read about those imaginary folks. Join us each Monday at RU where we’ll discuss the business of writing or career topic. Visiting Professors (guest bloggers) often stop by the school to offer advice.
Wednesday: Anatomy of the Male Mind
We ladies all want the answer to the forbidden question. The one lurking, unfulfilled, through the intricate maze that constitutes the male mind. Finally, we breathe deep and ask, “What’s he thinking?” Join us on Wednesdays to see if we can answer this question and more.
Friday: Chaos Theory of Writing
On Fridays, RU Faculty along with industry professionals and established authors will focus on the elements of manuscript writing. Tips to help you hone your craft and write a damn fine book. After all, it will be your writing that will catch (and retain) the interest of a lucky agent or editor.We’ll tap into our own experiences, share what’s working and what isn’t as we chase our dreams of becoming published authors. We’ll also discuss advice from our favorite writing reference books and websites. So join us each Friday to experience the chaos of writing.
A place where friends are made and dreams are realized

We’re glad you found us and hope you’ll enjoy all that RU has to offer! Be sure to check out some of the back posts. All the AMM posts should be under the “Male Perspective” category.

Thank you, Kelsey! I will do that.
Hi! Found this site through a link in a newsletter from Plot Monkey. Thank you for such a needed resource!!!
Question: Is African-American, Hispanic, or other ethnic romance considered separate genres, regardless of whether they are contemporary, paranomal, romantic suspense, etc?
Thank you much!!!

I hope you’ll be happy to know we’re planning a post on the Multicultural sub-genre in May. Although the books certainly fall into other categories, we felt like multicultural needed a focus of its own!
Best,
Kelsey
Wonderful! I’ll be sure to check it out, thanks!!
