Genre Writing Workshop: Romantic Comedies (1 of 2)

​What goes into planning a rom-com that actually lands—the comedy and the romance? In this two-part workshop, we're going to find out together.

​John, author of The Love Draft, will walk us through the process of planning a rom-com novella series from scratch, built around a Fourth of July theme. Over two sessions, we'll cover the full arc—from concept and character chemistry to structuring comedic beats that serve the romance rather than undercutting it. You'll see how to use Sudowrite's tools to develop the kind of tight, punchy plotting that the novella format demands, while keeping the heart of the story front and center.

​Whether you're a rom-com veteran or just curious about writing in the genre, you'll leave with a clearer sense of how to balance humor and heart.
