Hi Friend,

2025 is the year you get down and dirty with Tropes.

So we're all clear, tropes in fiction, a trope refers to a recurring element or pattern in storytelling that is familiar to audiences due to its repeated use across multiple narratives.

Things like:

types of character
plot device
themes
figure of speech

Tropes can be as small as a metaphor or as large as a story structure like the Hero’s Journey.

They serve as a kind of storytelling shorthand to help you to quickly convey ideas, evoke emotions, and create connections with readers by leveraging shared cultural knowledge.

So they are highly contextual!

If you want to dive deep into tropes, here's a fabulous opportunity!

It’s time for them to work for you!

A friend, Jennifer Hilt, is running a two day virtual event, April 5-6, where you'll hear from industry experts, share via Q&A sessions, and live sessions plus a private FB group.

At 2025 Trope Con!

Speaker List:

Sarra Cannon, Nat Connor, Tara Cremin, Cindy Dees, Steff Green/Steffanie Holmes, Jennifer Hilt, Ines Johnson, Maggie Marr, Sue Brown Moore, Russell Nohelty, Dana Pittman, Jennifer Probst, Sara Rosett, Lee Savino, Theodora Taylor, and Quinn Ward
