How To Start Your Romance Novel with Owen Nicholls
Join romantic novelist Owen Nicholls as he looks at why the beginning and end of your romance novel should be about so much more than just the first and last page.
If you’re struggling to start your romance novel, it might be because you can’t see the end. If you’re finding it hard to finish, it could be because where you began isn’t working yet. Join romantic novelist Owen Nicholls for a romance novel writing workshop where he will look at why the beginning and end of your romance novel should be about so much more than just the first and last page.
Using specific examples and open dialogues, this romance novel writing workshop will help you:
- Structure your romance novel using recognisable patterns
- Understand (and push) the limits of your chosen subgenre
- Differentiate between what your characters want and what they need
- Develop the best way to mirror your story’s start with its end.
