Romance is one of the best selling genres in fiction because readers love knowing the main characters will get a happy ending. But writing a romance doesn’t mean simply tacking on “and they lived happily ever after.” If you’ve ever wanted to write your own romance novel, start with this comprehensive and encouraging workshop.

In this one-day workshop, students will:
  • Learn what a romance novel actually is–and what it is not.
  • Learn how reader expectations inform romance novel characters, plot, and structure.
  • Learn about tropes and why they are the backbone of romance fiction.
  • Investigate sub-genres of romance and think about where their idea or current project fits into the romance landscape.
  • Get craft book recommendations for further reading.
  • Be able to ask questions of a contemporary romance author of over twenty novels and novellas.
