Romance Novel Writing Workshop

Hungering for helpful feedback about your romance novel in progress?
If you are seeking constructive feedback on a romance novel in progress (at least 20 pages or 10K words), join us. You may submit an entire draft of a manuscript or just the set-up or lead-in. We’ll take turns submitting our work and critiquing each other’s to tackle rough spots like the sagging middle, POV shifting, character development, and plot problems.

This session’s reading: Where the Fog Dragons Dance (Romance Novel Set-Up) by Vicky Phillips https://burlingtonwritersworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/simple-file-list/0820-RomanceNovel-Fog-Dragons.pdf

Subsequent sessions will be held on alternate Thursday evenings. We’re interested in romance fiction of all types, including historical, rom-com, time travel, paranormal, Regency, horror, LGBTQ, Christian, and intriguing blends. We’ll focus on reading, critiquing and and learning techniques for tackling problems by working with our fellow authors.

A key goal will be to develop the ability to provide intelligent and valuable feedback to each other (and thus learn how to write more powerfully ourselves).

If this is your first time at this workshop, please email host Vicky Phillips at geteducated@comcast.net, for important info. (If you send a message via MeetUp, make sure you have chosen to accept messages sent to you.) All skill levels are welcome. Respect for each other is a must.
