Write Your Romance Novel: January 2027
SOLD OUT
Always wanted to write a romance novel, but not sure where to start? Stuck in the murky middle of your story? Looking to improve your tension or steam?
Wherever you are in your romance-writing journey, this course is for you!
Join me, Alexandra Vasti, as we explore the craft of romance writing on three structural levels: the line, the scene, and the story. The course will take place over three 75-minute live Zoom sessions (recordings available for three months). Each session will include lecture and discussion, plentiful examples from popular and critically acclaimed romances, and tons of time for Q&A.
You can also choose to add on one or both bonus sessions (details below).
The course will also include a moderated Slack group—available for the duration of the course—to chat, ask questions, and build a supportive writing community.
