Self-Publishing RoundtableSPRT #168 – How to write clean and wholesome romance with Susan C DaffronEarlier in the year Amazon created a new romance category called: Clean and Wholesome. This was great news for authors of fade-to-black romances as Inspirational Romance was not working for them and they were being overwhelmed in Contemporary Romance genres.

It also means those who do want the details won't accidentally buy a book without it. But what exactly is this new category and how does one write in it? We asked contem...2016-11-091h 03
