How to Write a Romance Novel with Sarah Castille/ Sara Desai

Thursdays, June 2-23, 7-9pm PDT

Romance is one of the best-selling genres of fiction and opportunities abound for new and unique stories that fill our hearts and ignite our passions. Whether you are a new or experienced writer, this course will help you understand the genre and develop tools and techniques to craft compelling characters, engaging plots, stunning settings, and happily-ever-afters that will have your readers coming back for more. At the end of the workshop, participants may submit up to 12 pages of their draft romance work for review and feedback.

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Sarah Castille writes under two pen names. As Sarah Castille, she writes sizzling contemporary romance. As Sara Desai, she writes sexy, diverse romantic comedy. Sarah’s books have appeared in People, Oprah Magazine, Marie Claire, Pop Sugar, Bustle, Buzzfeed, USA Today, Woman’s World and Hello! Canada.
