Hi Reader! 1092 ☝️ That is the number of romance writers registered for Wanna Write Romance 2024 as of this morning. 🤯 48 ☝️ That is the number of countries represented by our attendees. 🤯🤯🤯 Oh my... holy... what the... YA'LL!! 🤗🥰💝
This is the first event like this I have ever hosted. And I'm not gonna try to be all demure and act like it has been a breeze. Creating this conference has been WORK. It has consumed 60-80 hours per week (mostly without weekend breaks) for the past 4 months. Straight up, I am exhausted. 😅 But you know what else? I am so glad I did it. (And the conference hasn't even started!) Because of feedback like that. ☝️ That's why I did this. I did this for you, a romance writer who deals with unfair stigmas and judgement about your craft every day. 📞 I interviewed 16 romance industry professionals, who share the nuances of writing romance (that you won't see anywhere else). 💻 I invited 9 teachers to share their wisdom in dedicated workshop-style sessions that focus on deep details of writing romance. 🥰 But the thing that matters most in all of this is you and what you take away from your experience at WWR2024.
PS! If you want to attend but are short on time this weekend, register and then upgrade to the Spark Pass for $67. The upgraded ticket opens up access to ongoing replays of the sessions, including the private podcast feed that already has 2 episodes you can listen to (early!). Hope to see you there! |

Hi Reader! Yesterday afternoon, I was sitting in my office (upstairs) and hear a crash (downstairs). I look around. The cat is here. ✅ My partner is in his office. ✅ 😰 What caused that crash?! When I walk downstairs, the first thing I notice is the smell. ♨️ (Sugar, strong.) And the carpet is drenched. 💦 (But not from any source that makes sense.) After about 5 minutes of investigation, I realize that this 👇 is the culprit... 😈 Naughty Loki! The cork had exploded from the bottle, and the...
Hi Reader! Stories matter most when they resonate deep in a reader's heart. Right after recording my recent guest spot on The Author Next Door podcast with Angela Haas and Cassie Newell, my heart felt so full. 🥰 For a whole hour, we dove into what makes writing romance such a special career niche. 🔥 We got real about trends in the romance-writing industry, then went deep on what transforms typical snooze-worthy characters into unique, compelling, everyday people that readers connect with. 🤓...
Hi Reader! I spent a lot of years doing 1:1 work with authors, first as a developmental editor and now as a story coach. 🧩 And there's one conversation that I seem to have over and over. It usually starts with: 🤔 "Sue, something feels... off with my story. But I cant figure out what." The plot makes sense. The scenes flow. The characters are interesting. But somehow, the emotional impact isn't landing quite the way you want. And here's what I've discovered: When a story isn't connecting with...
