How to Write a Romance   

Romance might be thought of as “love science fiction.” We know it’s not real, but it is such fun! The first class will start with learning about the basic concepts of a modern romance, followed by learning tools to uncover your hidden writing skills through free-form writing using sense memory tools. No experience in writing is required — just a pen, a notebook and a willingness to commit to 30 minutes of writing in the first class and up to one hour in the following classes. In the last class, students who so wish will share their writing.
