Crafting the Sensual Novella: How to Steam up the Pages in 25,000 Words or Less
This workshop was written by fellow author, Eliza Knight, and myself.
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at writing a sexy novella? Are you worried you won't be able to write short? Do love scenes intimidate you? Worry no more! It's time to learn the craft of novella writing. Creating a sensual short story can be fun and profitable.
And there has never been a better time to write short. With so many new and established publishers hungry for novellas, the market is wide open—if you know how to catch an editor's attention.
Sensual novellas are about much more than sex. And the guidelines are different than for a traditional-length novel. This workshop will help you learn how to plot a novella whether you are a heavy outliner or a “pantser.” You'll see how easy it is to layer emotion into your love scenes and hook the reader from the very first sentence. The class will also instruct you on how to pack more into less words, while still keeping your love story strong and your audience captivated. We'll even include a sensual and sensory word reference list as a bonus!
Are you ready to take readers on a swift, sensual, and emotionally riveting journey?
Note: This workshop includes handouts as well as suggested reading, and will include excerpts from the presenters' and other authors' novellas.
