Marissa chats with Hannah Orenstein about her new romance - MEANT TO BE MINE - as well as how the beloved genre ideals of "fate" and "soul mates" can come with their own problems, and how to leverage those to add believable conflict in your romance; crafting lush settings that will whisk your readers away while also introducing that aspirational lifestyle element that many readers crave; using the outline stage to explore possibilities for various subplots before committing to your final story, and how the path not chosen can be used to create dynamic relationships; why having the right day job can go a long way when it comes to balancing your career with your writing goals; and how the best method for keeping your ideas fresh is to get out there and live your own life.Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer

The Charm Offensive By Alison Cochrun | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3mzT3Gb "Fans of 'The Bachelor' will fall in love with Cochrun's sweet spin on a reality dating show....The Charm Offensive urges readers to scrutinize which love stories get told in Hollywood and pushes for a future where everyone gets to see themselves living happily ever after." —USA Today "The Charm Offensive is a heartwarming rom-com with unforgettable characters who will challenge you to see love in a new light. Set behind the scenes of the fictional TV show Ever After, Alison Cochrun is unafraid to flip reality TV's tired tropes into fresh storylines. With entertaining insight into how the happily-ever-after sausage gets made and nuanced discussions about mental health and sexuality, this witty, moving page-turner is nothing short of delightful. Networks would be wise to take cues from Cochrun's ode to reality TV romance." —Hannah Orenstein, author of Head Over Heels "This book is my new obsession. As a longtime (and long-suffering) Bachelor fan, I grinned at all the winks to the franchise, cheered at the subversions of reality TV tropes, and grew faint as Dev and Charlie danced closer to embracing their true feelings—and even truer selves. Heart-stoppingly romantic and radiantly empathetic." —Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of The Ex Talk "The Charm Offensive will sweep you off your feet." —PopSugar “[R]eaders seeking romance that prioritizes inclusive explorations of sexual identity and mental illness will treasure this.” —Publishers Weekly “With its lush locales and LGBTQ and BIPOC representation, this novel shines, especially for readers underrepresented or underappreciated in mainstream romance. For fans of Kate Stayman-London's One To Watch and Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue.” —Library Journal --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support
