Writing Romance with Adele Parks ~ Event 12 February 2015

Celebrate Valentine’s Day in 2015 with bestselling author Adele Parks and take part in an intensive evening masterclass with Writers & Artists, where she’ll guide you through the ups and downs of writing compelling, exciting romantic fiction.

As the author of thirteen top ten bestselling novels, Adele Parks is an expert on writing romance. In an evening of inspiring discussion, practical advice and writing exercises, she’ll use her experience to guide you through the challenges of writing romance – covering everything from creating two lead characters your readers will root for from their first meeting, to avoiding the clichés and developing your own unique style.

Adele will give you the advice you need to know to make sure your writing is emotionally engaging, sexy and original – and, most importantly, she’ll help you to make sure readers fall in love with your work, not just your leading protagonist. 

The event will be held at Bloomsbury Publishing, 50 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3DP. 

Doors will open at 6pm, with drinks provided upon arrival. Tickets cost £35.
