Romance readers crave passion, connection, and the thrill of falling in love—but they also count on the comforting familiarity of the genre’s core elements. In this 6-week workshop, we'll spend half of our time on craft talks about the components of a romance, common tropes, and how we get to that Happily Ever After. The other half of our class time will be spent generating and sharing new romance writing through prompts and exercises.
Whether you are new to the genre, or have written some romance already, this class will be a place to work on your writing and learn some ways to structure your love stories.
