NCW Academy: How To Start Your Romance Novel with Owen Nicholls
Sat 11 Nov 2023 to Sat 11 Nov 2023
Join romantic novelist Owen Nicholls as he looks at why the beginning and end of your romance novel should be about so much more than just the first and last page.

If you’re struggling to start your romance novel, it might be because you can’t see the end. If you’re finding it hard to finish, it could be because where you began isn’t working yet.

Using specific examples and open dialogues, this romance novel writing workshop will help you:

Structure your romance novel using recognisable patterns
Understand (and push) the limits of your chosen subgenre
Differentiate between what your characters want and what they need
Develop the best way to mirror your story’s start with its end.

Owen Nicholls is an author and screenwriter. His first two romantic fiction novels, Love, Unscripted and Perfect Timing were published by Hachette in the UK, PenguinRandomHouse in the US and Harper Collins in Canada. He has a Masters in Screenwriting from the UEA and has had his work optioned for both TV and Film. His first short film, Inappropriate, will be playing the festival circuit in late 2023.
