GET LIT WRITER SERIES
A tale as old a time, true as it can be...Romance has captured the hearts of readers for centuries. Love of different persuasions are deeply embedded in literature, may they be of the unrequited, forbidden, old flame kinds (and anything in between). It's little surprise that love stories continue to dominate the publishing market.
From classic novels to contemporary fiction, unforgettable love stories have the power to transport us to different worlds, evoke deep emotions, and leave a lasting impact. Spend the day with us exploring the power of romance and learning how to wield it. We'll discover what it takes to write a love story for the ages...or for the weekend. Let's deep dive into the meet-cutes, the will they-won't theys, all the spicy bits, and find our writerly happily ever after. |
