Crafting the Romantic Subplot with Book Coach and Romance Author Gala Russ



❤️


Wednesday, April 9, 2025

Hi Friend,

I'm super excited to bring this upcoming workshop to you!


A big believer in deep, complex relationships in my sci-fi and fantasy adventure stories, I've organized this training with a friend and fab teacher.


So, introducing this upcoming webinar for all you early deciders 😄


(Last minute deciders, hi!)


Two of the biggest benefits of learning to craft compelling romantic subplots in your stories is learning how to create authentic character chemistry that captivates readers and learn techniques for building emotional tension and stakes.


Two things that are key for every genre, and certainly science fiction and fantasy.


Check out also at this fab article she wrote for Writer's Fun Zone on the "3 Romantic Subplots Pitfalls and How to Fix Them by Gala Russ."

PS. The next workshop I plan to teach (probably at Sue Brown Moore's summer event) will probably be on how to make your sci-fi/fantasy setting work for your plot, characters, and theme. Does that interest you? Let me know. Thanks!
