Join us as we explore all aspects of writing fiction! Each episode we tackle a particular theme in fiction. After learning how to use the theme in our own writing, we test it out in the Writer's Room, where we race against the clock to plot out a complete story. So whether you’re a seasoned professional, aspiring writer, or just curious about the creative process, you’re invited to be a fly on the wall as we build some fiction.
Robin Ferrier and Sarah Horton share insights on plotting a series, particularly in the romance genre, to help writers craft engaging narratives and build a loyal fan base.
