The training

Ten lessons you won’t forget.

This is the part we’ve spent years on. Every lesson gets pulled apart step by step.

01

The Main Characters

We teach you how to allow the reader to see themselves in the characters, and root for them.

02

The Mask

Everyone worth reading about is protecting something. Finding that out takes only twenty minutes once you know the four questions.

03

The World

The world influences the characters’ behavior and helps shape the events and trigger the conflicts.

04

The Cast

Best friends, rivals, terrible exes, the mother. What each of them is actually there to do, and how to spot the ones doing nothing.

05

The Engine

The central dramatic question that keeps the reader going at midnight when she has work in the morning.

06

The Romance

Four things have to be there. The books readers reread, recommend, and obsess over usually get all four right. Learn what they are, and why missing even one can weaken the romance.

07

The Arc

Eight beats that keep the emotional momentum moving, so your reader feels something different with every turn of the page. We’ll break down all eight beats using bestselling novels, and show you how to apply them to your own story.

08

The Scenes

Every scene needs to make the reader feel something. Learn how to control the tension—when to push your characters harder, when to give them a little relief, and when to stop before the scene loses its impact.

09

The Reader Experience

What a five star review really means. It’s rarely the thing the review says.

10

Fantasies and Fears

Ten things sitting underneath almost every romance that has ever sold well. Once you’ve seen the list you’ll find them in the last book you loved.

What all bestsellers are built on
Two people who start with a problem, then fix something in each other that neither one could fix alone.

Everything we do is built on that.

How you'll learn

Four books, taken apart in front of you.

We go through over two hundred years, and four wildly different romance genres. So that you see what's running underneath, and see why they were so successful. We picked some of the top, bestselling books in the world so you visually see the examples as we go.
