No matter what romance subgenre calls your name, you’ll learn to expand an initial idea, center a romantic arc, and build strong, complementary characters. You’ll leave this collaborative, workshop-based class with a plan for a novel (including character exercises, a beat sheet, and a synopsis) and at least one chapter of written prose. You’ll also get an overview of resources available to you once you finish your novel. This course is perfect for romance book lovers looking to branch into writing and writers looking for new insights.
