Romance Writing Workshop

Want to write a romance novel that strikes the perfect balance between emotional authenticity, escapist pleasure and genuine uplift? Whether you’re a fan of Romantasy, Romantic Suspense, Dark Romance or the kind of book that would have made a great Nora Ephron Rom Com, this four-week class will give you the chance to start on the book of your dreams.

Details: This class is live and in-person, so you have to live in or around Dutchess County.

Dates: Thursdays, October 30, November 6, November 13, November 20, from 5-6:30 pm.

Cost: $200

Here is some optional pre-workshop homework: 

1) Do you have a favorite romance novel or romance novels?

2) Do you have favorite romance tropes (plot elements) such as friend to lovers, enemies to lovers, kiss you or kill you? 

3) Is there a romance novel you thought you would dislike but wound up loving? If yes, why?

4) What about the opposite: Is there a romance novel you thought you would love, and wound up disliking? 

5) Find a love scene that made the hairs on the back of your neck tingle, in a good way.

Graphic Novel Script Writing Class (One Shot Workshop)

Have a story idea for a graphic novel or a prose story you want to turn into a graphic novel?

Join me for a two-hour online workshop where I take you step by step through the process of writing a graphic novel script.

Date: Tuesday, October 28, from 5-7 pm. The class will be live online via Zoom.

Pre-class homework: Ideally, you should have a scene in mind, either one you have already written in prose, or one you have outlined. The scene should involve some form of action (walking or eating is fine) and can incorporate narrative text and/or dialogue.
