Fearless Romance Writing: The Comprehensive Beginner Course (2024 class)

CLASS IS CLOSED FOR ENROLLMENT

Hi there!

Thanks for checking out the Fearless Romance Beginner Course! This will be my sixth year teaching this course, and every year, I get excited all over again to teach it. I love meeting both new writers and current writers who are looking to up their game in the romance genre.

This course is loaded with information, so we cover a lot, but we also have a lot of fun! I want you to be able to walk away from this course with a solid understanding of the genre, ways to develop characters your readers will root for, and tools for structuring a romance plot--even if you're not a plotter! (I'm not.)

Most of all, I want you to know that this course welcomes all kinds of writer brains and processes. I am not a "one true way" teacher. I talk to writers every day as a Gallup Certified Strengths coach, and I know that what works for one writer may be the absolute wrong thing for another. So in this course, I give you flexible ways to use the information and tools so that they work best for your unique creative process.

See you in class!

• Bonus lectures that go beyond the basics, give additional tips and tricks, and provide extra insight including tips on naming characters, helpful writer tools & finding your writer “engine”
• Access to a private, invitation-only Facebook group hosted by Roni for current and former students of the course, where you can connect with her and your fellow writers. This will be a place to find ongoing support from the people you meet in the class and from former students (also a great way to find beta readers!)
