Hi! I'm Jenna Harte, a romance author and ghostwriter for a best-selling author.

Over the last nearly 6 years, I've written over 75 romance books for my clients alone. That's over a book a month and doesn't include my own novels.

My client keeps coming back to me because my romances are filled with characters readers root for, an emotional roller coaster ride readers want to experience, and the sweet happily ever after hopeless romantics crave.

"...your storytelling ability is awe-inspiring. My readers fall in love with the characters you create..."

In the Preptober and Writevember Challenge, I'll give you the tips and tricks I use to write 70,000 to 80,000 word books in three weeks or less...without experiencing writer's block! (Note: you'll be able to choose your own wordcount).

Write a book in a month is not so hard when you have a plan and a few tricks up your sleeve. In this challenge, I'll share all my tools and hacks to plan your book in October, and write it in November.

What Past Participants Have to Say about the Challenge

Jenna Harte’s Write a Romance in 30 Days Challenge provided not only great information and support for me as a new romance writer but also much-needed motivation! I’m keeping all of the info from the challenge for reference for my first and future romance books. Thank you, Jenna. —J. Elizabeth Vincent, Fantasy Author and Budding Romance Author

I got a bug in my ear for the first time in 2021 about NaNoWriMo, so I went looking for how to start. Starting was so overwhelming with the other information I found. Jenna set out a step-by-step plan for Preptober and Writevember that was easy to follow without drowning in information overload, which led to me completing NaNoWriMo with over 50,000 words in my first year. I am so glad I found Write with Harte. - Christina Sneeringer

How the Challenge will run:

Preptober

During the month of October, you’ll receive an email each day with information and homework to get ready to write your romance. These pre-plans will:
•   Help you find time and space to write
•   Give you my tips and resources to help you write more in less time
•   Guide you through developing all the elements of your story
•   And more

Each Thursday at noon eastern time, we'll connect live via Zoom to review Preptober plans, answer questions, and give support.

Writevember

Starting November 1, you’ll start writing your novel.* It sounds daunting, but your Preptober planning will be a great help, plus you’ll continue to get emails that:
•   Give you tips on writing craft, such as opening strong, writing a first kiss, building conflict, and more
•   Provide pacing cues, such as word count or plot points, so you know you’re on track
•   Give you inspiration to keep on writing even if you feel uninspired
•   And more!

Plus, on each Thursday (except Thanksgiving), we'll continue to connect live for writing sprints, support, or simply to cheer each other on.

On December 4th at noon eastern (Thursday following end of Writevember), we’ll celebrate success and I’ll share with you the next steps for your manuscript.

If you're finally ready to get your romance written, join Write with Harte's FREE Preptober and Writevember Challenge!
