About This Newsletter

A Science Fiction based romance features a love story that is inextricably linked with a science fiction plot and setting. The most basic definition of a romance novel is simply... a novel focused on a central love story. However, if you were to throw another element into the fray, like say Science fiction, then the sky is the limit to where you can take things.

Letter from the editor

Romance gives the characters of Science Fiction more depth. Yet, romance brings us into the individual lives of the people; it lets us see how these grand plots disrupt and interrupt their lives, and how their love can keep them fighting against insurmountable odds. Romance makes us care about their futures, and thus our own. The romantic journey is set in a scientifically or technologically advanced environment.

Your characters and their interaction with each other are important. Every character throughout the story is important. The smallest one can make the difference from an okay story to a great one. It is also important to balance your dialogue with your description. Let the readers build the world in their minds by giving them just enough information.

Writing romance doesn't mean it has to take place in a real-world setting, it can take place on other planets or in imaginary lands, or involve creatures such as vampires, werewolves, genies, ghosts, and pixies. The beautiful thing about science fiction is that you can make your species anything you want as long as the rules you build in work.

So, build worlds and characters that work together. One thing to be aware of is that the world-building and science fiction elements usually aren't as strong as in typical science fiction, and romance always comes first. In romantic fiction, the focus is generally on two characters, the ones who fall in love.

Last, but not least remember is to make sure you keep a balance of both Science fiction and Romance. Really immerse yourself within your world to bring out any technological advances if there are any. Show the love between your two main characters not to mention keep a consistent theme throughout, so you really draw your reader(s) in.
