About this listen
"Genre fiction series are the bread and butter of mid-list writers. For many, they make the difference between a writing dream and a writing career.” (Zoe York/Ainsley Booth, USA Today and New York Times best-selling author)
For the first time ever in print, Zoe York breaks down how she plans a series - something she has done 10 times over. Romance Your Brand is an adaptation of an intensive four-week course, now available to authors everywhere.
This book covers:
- High-concept pitches
- Taglines and blurbs
- World building and casts of characters
- Writing the first book in a series
- Finding comparable series and covers
- How to write towards future marketing
- And why all of the above should be considered before you write a single word

Story
There are only, in my humble opinion, two kinds of readers: readers who love your books and readers who don’t know they love your books yet. But how do you reach those readers in the second category, no matter what kind of writer you are? The answer to that question is...universal fantasy. Universal fantasy is why my sales tripled when I “accidentally” wrote three books that landed in the Amazon Top 100. Universal fantasy is why some authors get gobs of gushing reviews and some authors who write “way better” get crickets.

Story
What makes a romance novel a romance? Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre - something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats. Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat is like sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure - the way she does with her clients, some of whom are regular inhabitants of the best-seller lists.

It's every novelist's greatest fear: pouring their blood, sweat, and tears into writing hundreds of pages only to realize that their story has no sense of urgency, no internal logic, and so is a page-one rewrite. The prevailing wisdom in the writing community is that there are just two ways around this problem: pantsing (winging it) and plotting (focusing on the external plot).

A lot of takeaways!
This is the kind of book I will listen to over and over. Many great tips and advice. York did a great job narrating too! A lot of food for thought of how to approach your marketing strategies, along with a refreshing telling of the pains of not only writing but what has to come next after you publish. I highly recommend!

Excellent Resource on Aligning Your Brand & Series
Really appreciated this book on how to leverage a series by identifying and monetizing your brand, utilizing the most marketable elements of your work. As authors we often think of our 'product' as a unique work of art - because, of course, it is. But that's very hard to put into words when it comes to marketing.
This book helps you pull out those elements that have broad appeal to a particular market, identify where you might be missing the mark slightly and improve those areas. It was just what I was looking for.
Also loved listening to the author read the book herself, she has a very appealing and entertaining style. It includes a step by step map of how to plan your next series for increased success. Thank you so much for sharing, Zoe York!
