Ah, it’s the start of a new month, which means it’s time for another writing challenge.

Our October Writing Challenge is to write a Christmas romance that you can publish as a Kindle Singles next month – just in time for the Christmas holidays.

October writing challenge

To get started, be sure to take our free course, How to Write Romance.

You’ll find the link to it in our private Resource Library for Writers.

To gain immediate access to that library, all you need to do is join our mailing list.

Next, write a short romance of at least 5,000 words.

I’d suggest you spend this week outlining your story.

Next week and the week after that, write the story, then the following week edit the story.

And, finally, make sure it is formatted correctly for Kindle Singles.

You’ll find a Guide to Kindle Singles in our private Resource Library for Writers, too.

Okay, so if you’re up for this challenge, just think—next month you’ll have a new story to market during the holidays.

If you aren’t yet on our mailing list, join it here now to get access to the resources you’ll need for this month’s challenge.
