Writing romance is about much more than learning a formula — it’s about creating an alchemical equation which changes your main characters for the better, and sometimes transforms them in surprising ways. Whether the romance is the main plot of your novel or a subplot, we’ll explore the key components to creating memorable love stories on the page.
In this two-hour class, we will cover: Romance Subgenres (historical, thriller, contemporary, erotic, paranormal etc); popular tropes (friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, forced proximity); the seven beats of romantic comedy; why writing love scenes is a lot like writing fight scenes; and when and how to break the “rules” or conventions of the genre. Bring your notebook, as we will be doing writing exercises in class. You can register below:
