4-Week: Love is in the Air—Building a Believable Relationship Arc in Romance

Romance is the best-selling genre of all time with a dedicated, passionate readership. In this four-week course, we'll look at the story structure specific to romance novels and how to build the perfect meet-cute that blossoms into a well-grounded, believable romance. We’ll look at how the core relationship drives your story plot, how to develop love interests that perfectly challenge your main character, and build chemistry that will keep readers turning the pages. Participants can expect lectures, plenty of in-class exercises to build on the topics presented in class, group discussions of what we're learning and how to apply it to our own writing, and suggested reading for further resources.
