Brand Tone

passionate, witty, and engaging, balancing a friendly, approachable author persona with the dramatic and romantic escapism of her novels. The language used in her marketing and social media is evocative and often uses words like "steamy," "swoon-worthy," "scandalous," and "passionate" to describe her work, directly appealing to the desires of her target audience. She writes in a way that she herself would want to read, which suggests an authentic and personal tone.

Brand Values

• •Escapism and Entertainment: Providing readers with an immersive escape into historical worlds filled with romance, passion, and adventure.
• •Strong Female Characters: Her stories consistently feature heroines who are intelligent, strong, sassy, and often defy societal norms.
• •Authenticity to the Genre: While she enjoys "writing outside the box," she remains true to the conventions of historical and Regency romance that her readers love.
• •Reader Community: Through her newsletter and a dedicated reader group, she fosters a sense of belonging and direct connection with her audience.
• •Passion for History: Her personal love for history is a driving force behind her work, which she researches by traveling to the UK.

Best Practices

• •Embrace Evocative Language: Consistently use words that tap into the core desires of a romance reader: passion, scandal, desire, swoon-worthy, forbidden, steamy, heart-stopping, rogue, ravenous. This language reinforces the genre and the emotional payoff of reading her books.
• •Highlight the Heroine's Strength: Always emphasize the heroine's agency, wit, and spirit. Phrases like "she's no damsel in distress," "a woman who plays by her own rules," or "he's finally met his match" will resonate with her audience's appreciation for strong female leads.
• •Focus on the Core Conflict/Trope: Clearly communicate the central romantic trope (e.g., enemies-to-lovers, second chance romance, fake relationship). This helps readers quickly identify if the story aligns with their preferences. For example: "She's sworn off men forever. He's determined to change her mind."
• •Maintain a Personal and Approachable Author Voice: When writing as Tamara Gill (on social media, in newsletters), maintain the friendly, down-to-earth tone she uses in interviews. Sharing personal anecdotes about her love for history or her writing process strengthens the author-reader connection.
• •Use a Clear Call to Action That Encourages Escape: Frame calls to action not just as a purchase, but as an invitation. Use phrases like: "Escape into the past," "Start your next romantic adventure," "Lose yourself in a world of passion," or "Meet your next book boyfriend." This aligns with the primary value of providing entertainment and escapism.
