Writing Romance at the Mansion

Following in the footsteps of renowned author Edith Wharton (who was rumored to be inspired by Staatsburgh and its inhabitants when she wrote The House of Mirth) join seasoned author and editor Alisa Kwitney, https://alisakwitney.com/, for an inclusive historical romance writing workshop.

Participants will be guided through the process of writing their own historical romance scene using Staatsburgh and its compelling characters as their inspiration. A tour of the mansion, written prompts, site-specific settings, and some of the most popular tropes or scenarios from Historical Romance Fiction are just some of the tools that will enable writers of all levels to create a written scene, leave with a better understanding of the mansion and of historical romance, and with the inspiration for writing their own historical romance stories. F/M, F/F and M/M romance pairings will be discussed as options. Light refreshments of Staatsburgh blend tea and cookies will be served.
