Lucy Bowen is an editor's assistant for a big, Manhattan publisher. She's on her way to her dream of being a big city editor but getting nowhere toward living a romance like the ones she reads about.  When her publishing house might lose their biggest author to writer's block, her boss volunteers Lucy to go undercover for six weeks and do rom-com research in a small town for plot ideas. If she does a good job, she gets promoted to assistant editor--a big step toward the dream! Having escaped from her mundane suburban childhood, Lucy is NOT looking forward to spending that much time in "bumblefuck nowhere" and being miles from Starbucks and a good bagel. 


When she arrives in Hudson Hollow, she's immediately greeted by her neighbor, Liam Miller and his German Shepard, Blue. Liam and all the residents of Hudson Hollow are like every romcom cliche, complete with a loveable dog, a cinnamon roll hero who knows the power of good food, bubbling chemistry and surprise cake delivery. 

How to Write a Rom-Com delivers a funny and self-aware story about falling in love with your life and the dreams that motivate us. It's a delight!
