Vanessa Riley – Writer’s Digest University Romance Writing Virtual Conference

First Impressions in Romance: Bringing Couples Together

How to start a couple on a journey of romance is the most important consideration to get readers hooked and to make them root for eternal devotion while turning pages and asking: will they or won’t they? Some think that writing a romance is formulaic because the ending is pretty well known–they live happily ever after, or at least for now. Yet the challenge for today’s reader is to make the romance structure feel fresh. Authors need to experiment with the unknown while staying close to tropes readers love. In this workshop, Vanessa Riley teaches attendees the three guiding principles in making sure your meet-cute delivers upon your story’s romantic promise and have your readers saying yes–yes to you, the author, and yes to the next book in your series.
