Within a category there are often subcategories, such regency and Roman historical. Literary agent Richard Curtis reviews the various categories of the romance genre and provides examples of a category romance versus historical romance. He says that as a writer, you can pull romance out of any era. A category romance is a love story that follows this formula: boy meets girl, boy and girl have a misunderstanding, they break up, and then they get back together. A historical romance is similar to a category romance, but with an added element of history. In a historical romance, the history becomes a character and adds dimension to the story. It plays a role in the romance that makes it profound, not trivial. </div><div class='asl-wikipage-media'><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-00-61/ALCATERichardCurtisCategoriesofRomance.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ALCATERichardCurtisCategoriesofRomance.mp4</a></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Romance and Erotica, Subscriber, video</div>
