About

Explore the power of writing good "spice" in fiction. A little bit of spice can be effectively incorporated into all types of fiction writing, not just romance. From longing looks to searing kisses, well-written spice has the power to deepen plot and character, reveal information, and hook the emotions of your reader. Together, we’ll learn to craft great spice by breaking our scenes down into five key components. This class is suitable for readers writing in all genres and at all spice levels.

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
