Writer's Lab: Why They Can’t Be Together (Yet)

About the Program: Strong romance conflict doesn't come from misunderstandings—it comes from emotional wounds. In this workshop, writers will learn how to design character backstories that create meaningful barriers to love, build those wounds into relationship tension, and craft powerful third-act crises that feel inevitable rather than forced. Through guided exercises, attendees will develop their characters' core wounds, defenses, and emotional breaking points. Register to save your seat.
