About this Event
After Dark on the Page
A Romance Writing Workshop & Indie Book Pop-Up
Romance writers, aspiring authors, and book lovers — this afternoon is for you.
After Dark on the Page is an intimate, beginner-friendly romance writing workshop designed to help you write scenes with stronger chemistry, emotional tension, memorable characters, and authentic romantic connection.
Whether you're working on your first story, drafting a romance novel, experimenting with romantasy, or simply curious about writing more compelling romantic scenes, you'll be guided through practical techniques you can immediately put on the page.
This isn't a lecture.
You'll write.
You'll experiment.
And if you'd like, you'll have the opportunity to share a short piece with the room and receive supportive feedback.
What we'll explore
During the workshop, we'll look at:
Building believable chemistry between characters
Creating romantic and emotional tension
The difference between attraction, tension, and intimacy
Using dialogue, pacing, and body language effectively
Writing intimate scenes without making them feel mechanical
Developing character motivation and emotional stakes
Adjusting scenes for contemporary romance, romantasy, paranormal romance, and other subgenres
Editing scenes that feel awkward, rushed, or over-written
Short guided writing exercises will be included throughout the afternoon.
Bring a notebook, journal, tablet, or laptop — whatever makes you most comfortable writing.
