Third Lantern Lit presents Page to Stage Writing Workshop: Romance
Page to Stage is a guided program to help you turn a story from an idea to a complete work ready to be performed at a live reading. Each quarter we release the theme of which all of our events for those three months will be centered.
This period’s theme is Romance! We’re exploring all things love – from romcoms to doomed romance to fantasy to gothic to domestic.
Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, Maurice by E.M. Forster, Normal People by Sally Rooney, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters, and Seven Days in June by Tia Williams can kick off your romance journey.
At this event, Farrah will:
- Give a brief overview of her 20-year journey as a romance author
- Discuss the key elements of a romance novel, such as the “meet cute”, the role of internal and external conflicts in a romance, character ARC, the HEA (Happily Ever After)
- Discuss tropes in romance
- Lead a generative writing session using prompts that span various tropes and various elements of romance novels
This event is free and open to all writers. No RSVP necessary.
