Thank you to everyone who participated in #Lovember2024! The first year of the romance writing challenge may have come to an end, but there’s much to talk about. Here you’ll find the #Lovember2024 recap and what to expect next.
Let’s start with the event itself, before moving on to how I’m celebrating the success of #Lovember2024.
#Lovember2024 recap
I’ve been thrilled to hear about how you’ve used the #Lovember2024 writing prompts to write more. From poetry to writing groups, it’s been lovely to see how creative everyone has been.
Thank you to all of the support on social media, whether you’ve reposted the prompts, shared links online, or liked my posts.
Thank you also to the people who have spread news of #Lovember further. Two writing groups used the prompts to inspire writing exercises and helped spread the word! I’m so thankful to the organisers for highlighting my writing challenge, especially in its first year.
As I said in the first post, there’s no time limit to the prompts. Continue to use the 2024 prompts whenever and however you’d like! Happy writing.

Celebrating the first year of #Lovember
Once again, thank you to everyone who participated, and congratulations on setting some time aside to write! I know how difficult it can be to motivate yourself or to find inspiration when things are difficult. But even if you thought about writing, you’ve done something. For that, I’m proud of you.
To celebrate the effort and creativity everyone has put into #Lovember, I’ll be offering free feedback on query letters for romance writers across December.
When I put up a poll to discuss what kind of celebration people wanted, this was the favoured option.
To get your free, supportive query letter feedback, just email info@hnossproofreads.co.uk with the subject ‘Lovember’ (or similar) with your request and the query letter you’d like me to help with.
So if you’re in the query trenches with a romance novel, make sure to contact me in December. I’ll use my personal experience of querying, as well as the resources I’ve collected over the years, to give you suggestions on how to improve and celebrate what you’ve done well.
Will there be a #Lovember2025?
There will be a #Lovember2025, so keep an eye on my social media accounts for the announcement. You can also check for information on the official #Lovember page, including all of the past prompts.
In the meantime, I have a lot of other writing prompts to explore and spark your imagination.
