About This Training
Intermediate
There’s a common perception that romance novels are nothing but sex scenes, stuck together with fluff. But there’s a reason romance is the single bestselling genre in publishing today, and it’s not the sex.
The techniques used by romance authors to create compelling stories that bring readers to laughter, to tears, and to the bookstore for their next read can be used by the authors of other genres to strengthen their stories. Learn how romance authors handle relationships, communication, balance, tension, and emotion, and how you can apply these lessons to your own work — no matter what genre you’re writing in.
