About this Event

Make 2025 the year you write that novel!

Do you have some ideas for a novel, but need help with the structure? Or could you use some inspiration to write a whole new story? Start your new year with the “Plot Your Novel in an Hour” workshop.

Former publishing executive and author Bryn Donovan will take you step by step through fun in-class exercises to generate a new story idea or give your existing idea more shape. You’ll never be asked to share or be put on the spot, and you’ll leave with more motivation to write your story.

Copies of Her Knight at the Museum will be available for purchase and signing at the workshop.

Workshop portion of the evening will last approx. 1 hour.

Ticket includes $10 coupon at the event to be used in store.

About Her Knight at the Museum

A centuries-long curse is no match for rom-com shenanigans when a medieval knight is brought to life in modern-day Chicago.
Forgotten by time and abandoned by hope, Sir Griffin de Beauford’s existence stretches out before him. Cursed by a ruthless enchanter to see, hear, and think, but never to move or speak, Griffin suffers the long, lonely centuries trapped in stone…until an unexpected kiss from a fair maiden breathes new life into his soul—and his body.
Emily Porter, a recently divorced conservator at the Art Institute of Chicago, is charged with the restoration of a statue of a medieval English knight. Breaking curses was not part of the job description. And yet, here he is, the man of her dreams come to life, resplendent in shining armor as he joyously barrels into priceless antiquities...and goes on to dismantle her defenses, wreak havoc on her senses, and tempt her to believe once more in happy-ever-afters.
But the modern age tries Griffin’s patience and pride, and Emily is a prime suspect in the investigation of the missing sculpture. In a complicated world, can they find their way to a fairy-tale ending?

Limited copies will be available for purchase on-site.
