Boo-tiful Romance: Writing Ghosts That Don't Suck - Creating Compelling Spectral Romance

Ghosts are everywhere. Good ghost romance is rare. You know why? Because most writers treat ghosts like invisible people with tragic backstories. They slap on some haunting scenes, throw in some unfinished business, and call it ghost romance. That's not ghost romance. That's romance with a supernatural obstacle. Real ghost romance is about the impossibility of loving someone who's gone. It's about the grief of touching someone you can't hold. It's about building intimacy across the barrier between life and death. It's about choosing love even when it can't last. And it's hard to write well. You need to make death romantic without being morbid. You need obstacles that create intimacy instead of just blocking it. You need rules about the afterlife that stay consistent. You need grief that's real but doesn't drown the romance. And you need to make all of this feel fresh when every variation has been done. This book teaches you how. • Building ghost mythology that works • Creating ghosts with actual depth and agency • Writing haunting scenes that resonate • Balancing romance and impossibility • Avoiding the tropes that make readers cringe • Making your ghost memorable in an oversaturated market How to Write Ghost Romance: Book 2.
