What you will learn
Ready to craft love stories that make readers swoon and turn pages? This hands-on course explores the building blocks of romance—character chemistry, emotional stakes, and genre beats—while diving into subgenres, tropes, consent, and inclusive representation. Through targeted exercises, scene workshops, and feedback on drafts, you'll sharpen dialogue, tension, pacing, and sensuality with clarity and care.
By the end, you'll build a polished portfolio piece—such as a complete short romance or the first chapters, synopsis, and blurb for a novel—plus a repeatable drafting and revision toolkit. We’ll demystify the marketplace with guidance on comps, query letters, blurbs, and paths to publication, including indie options. Whether you aim to publish, boost your fanfiction, or elevate relationship arcs in other genres, you’ll leave with practical skills that translate to screenwriting, copywriting, and content that connects.
