Many people aspire to write a novel, but few actually meet their goal. In this course, students will begin a romance novel and revise this beginning for submission or self-publication. To do this, we’ll explore the genre and the structure of romance novels, read and analyze popular romance novels, watch movies and interview, and discuss other romance-related texts. Some of the in-class activities are specifically designed to help students build their “writing muscles” and improve their focus, so come to class ready to write!
By the end of this course, students will complete and revise the first three chapters of a romance novel, a query letter, and a book synopsis. Each student will leave this class with a personal roadmap to finishing their book as well as a list of avenues for publication, according to their goals.
