***ONLY THREE SPOTS LEFT***

Join a fun, supportive, and inspiring workshop led by published romance author Georgia Clark.

Romance novels are rich, emotional stories that explore love, sex, and relationships, often with diverse casts, whip-smart plots, and a lot of heart. The genre is booming, and editors are actively looking for fresh, original voices.

Whether you're writing a romance novel, weaving a romantic subplot into another genre, or crafting contemporary women's fiction with romantic elements, this virtual class will give you the tools, structure, and feedback you need to write with confidence.

The four sessions offer craft lectures and personalized feedback on your work. Writers will have the opportunity to workshop a piece and receive detailed notes.

Perfect for both beginners and writers with a draft in progress.

  • “Georgia helped me turn a vague idea into a book deal. Georgia’s high-energy, affirming feedback gave me the confidence to seriously pursue my queer romance idea. After completing the Romance Workshop, I joined her Writer’s Group which provided accountability and valuable peer feedback. After two years, I felt prepared to query thanks to Georgia’s industry insights — I received eight offers and signed with a senior agent at Transatlantic Agency. My novel, GRAND SLAM, was acquired by DoubleDay Canada and will be published in 2026."

    Andrew Maguire

  • “I took Georgia Clark’s Romance Workshop in the fall of 2023. In class, Georgia, and my fellow writers, helped me rework my first chapter from a stream-of-conscious mess to a well-structured, curiosity-seed-filled launching point. After class finished, I kept writing and rewriting. I then jumped into the query trenches, where I received thirteen full requests and three offers of representation! Truly would have never gotten this far without Georgia and my cohort of writers!”

    Olivia Crandall

  • “I took Georgia’s Romance Workshop back in 2021, and today I just signed my contract with a dream agent!! I’m so grateful for everything I learned in Georgia’s class, especially the querying advice!! ”

The lectures are specific, with powerful tips I can immediately implement to improve my prose, and the workshop sessions facilitated invigorating discussions. Armed with pages of feedback from Georgia and my workshop peers, I now have a clear understanding of exactly what I need to do to improve my novel. ”

Her feedback was spot on—she truly understood what I was aiming for, even though I don't write traditional romance.

Georgia's workshop was both inspiring and insightful, offering a behind-the-scenes look at publishing. I now have the confidence to finish my first draft."

    Taylor Hugo

  • “As someone who had not taken a writing workshop of this caliber previously, I cannot recommend it enough. Many writers had recommendations for my storyline, great additions to dialogue, and overall inspired the writing. It also allows connections to be made, and the chance to stay in touch with highly motivated writers to share thoughts, work and feedback is truly invaluable.”

    Adaleta Avdic

  • "Georgia’s class offers the perfect blend of instruction and community, and I left every session excited to dive back into my work. Her craft lectures are straightforward and full of tips that helped me fix issues in my manuscript. The workshops were just as valuable—I learned something new each time, even when my work wasn’t being critiqued. I'm also grateful for the connections I made with fellow writers."

    Katy Stankevitz

  • “Georgia’s romance workshop was exactly what I needed: the perfect blend of instruction, discussion, and community.

    Leah Henderson

  • "Taking Georgia Clark's Romance Workshop was one of the best things I 've done for my writing. Georgia split the class between lecture and workshop, providing writers with a solid foundation of the romance genre and actionable feedback to apply to their work.

  • Getting feedback from your fellow writers will highlight your story’s strengths, as well as the parts that aren’t yet hitting the mark. Receiving thoughtful and supportive feedback will always strengthen your work and make it even more appealing to agents and editors. Even if you’ve never taken a writing class or workshop before, you’ll benefit from your work being analyzed and explored by a sensitive group of writers working in the same genre as you.
