My readers expect sizzling chemistry that slow-burns into a satisfying happy ever after \u2013 but readers of all genres want to meet people whose relationships they can invest in.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever genre you\u2019re writing in, creating chemistry between your characters is crucial. Whether you\u2019re working on a dystopian horror novel, a sweeping fantasy trilogy or a gritty crime thriller, it should be as high up your authorial to-do list as mine.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, what <em>is<\/em> chemistry?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good question. Often, chemistry is one of those \u2018you know it when you see it\u2019 things.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty, or Harry, Ron and Hermione. Think of the push and pull between the very different Dashwood sisters in Jane Austen\u2019s <em>Sense and Sensibility, <\/em>or the relentless bickering of the many Bridgerton siblings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, chemistry is the force that <em>animates<\/em> fictional relationships, taking them from flat to 3D. It\u2019s what makes them feel real and believable, but also what makes them entertaining.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Establishing effective chemistry really means creating connection between your characters. Often, this link involves recognition and \/ or resistance. Perhaps the characters see things in one another that they love or hate \u2013 or maybe they perceive pieces of <em>themselves<\/em> in the other person. This might be joyous or deeply disturbing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, the most important thing to remember is that <strong>chemistry is founded on feelings<\/strong>. It requires characters to provoke strong reactions in one another, whether positive or negative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"promo-block  alignfull\" id=\"\">\r\n    <div class=\"content-container\">\r\n        <div class=\"promo-block-container\">\r\n                            <div class=\"promo-image-container\">\r\n                                            <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/writing-romance-novels-course\/\" target=\"\">\r\n                                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Rowan-Coleman-2-1.png\" alt=\"\">\r\n                                                                <\/a>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"promo-text-container\">\r\n                <div class=\"promo-text-wrapper\">\r\n                    <h2>Want to write a story that steals hearts or sets pulses racing?<\/h2>                    <div class=\"wysiwyg-container\"><p>Join Rowan Coleman on our Writing Romance Novels course and learn to craft sizzling character chemistry, swoon-worthy scenes and tear-jerking happy-ever-afters.<\/p>\n<\/div>                                            <div class=\"cta-container\">\r\n                            <a class=\"cta-btn has-background has-thriller-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/writing-romance-novels-course\/\" target=\"\"><span>Find out more<\/span><\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tried and tested methods for creating chemistry&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Equal or opposite responses to events. <\/strong>Whatever type of relationship you\u2019re building between characters, putting them in a tricky situation can pay dividends. Will their problem pull them together? Will it expose the differences between them? If so, good \u2013 because conflict is <em>excellent<\/em> fuel for chemistry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, perhaps getting out of their pickle will force your characters into a rapprochement that brings them closer. It could help them recognise qualities in one another that they hadn\u2019t known were there.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throw your characters into the deep end to test a long-standing relationship or show the formation of a new one. Whether they sink, swim or struggle awkwardly to the side of the pool will help your reader understand who these people are \u2013 but also who they are to one another.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Physical touch. <\/strong>In romance novels, physical touch is key to creating chemistry. However, the same logic applies to any genre of novel where there\u2019s a romantic sub-plot. Robert Galbraith\u2019s <em>Strike<\/em> series is an obvious example.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Touch doesn\u2019t have to be overtly sexual or gratuitous \u2013 it can be a fleeting brush of fingertips or a comforting hug that lasts just a moment too long. The point is for it to evoke emotions that go beyond platonic boundaries.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between friends, touch can be grounding: a signal that your character isn\u2019t alone in facing whatever challenge is before them. Touch can also denote a shift in a relationship, from friendship to more or from casual to committed. Never underestimate the significance of one character taking another by the hand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Little (and large) intimacies. <\/strong>Think in-jokes, nicknames or one character knowing another\u2019s coffee order by heart. All signal connections that <em>can<\/em> be romantic but don\u2019t have to be.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my current work-in-progress, the first thing my protagonist\u2019s best friend \u2013 a chef \u2013 says to her in chapter one is: \u2018Hungry? I\u2019ve saved you a plate with all the good stuff.\u2019 It\u2019s easy, effective shorthand for: \u2018I know you and I care about you.\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elsewhere, the delivery of tough love \u2013 or the prodding of old wounds \u2013 can signal and strengthen characters\u2019 chemistry. When one person knows about another\u2019s painful past or calls them out on their BS, the bond between them becomes clear and feels real.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-woocommerce-memberships-non-member-content\">\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> <strong>Heightened awareness. <\/strong>In the same spirit as my character\u2019s bestie recognising the rumbling of her stomach, showing that one person has heightened awareness of another is an easy way to&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">You\u2019re currently enjoying Jericho Writers for free.
