Savvy Writers' founder, Tracy Buchanan, is a bestselling author of both women’s fiction under her own name and romance under the Laura Bloom pen name, which landed her a six-figure deal.

 

In this 90-minute masterclass, she will draw on her experience writing across multiple genres and the full romantic spectrum to teach you the craft editors want and the heat levels readers are buying.This workshop is relevant to romance authors, but also authors who want to include intimate scenes in their novels, whatever the genre.We'll cover:
* Heat levels editors are buying right now (plus quotes from editors and agents she consulted)
* What readers are hungry for
* A guide to the full heat spectrum — from closed door to high spice — with real examples
* The specific craft techniques that make sex scenes memorable
* A reference guide for naming body parts and actions by heat level (because while we all love the phrases 'pork swords' and 'velvet tunnels’, your editor will absolutely have questions!)
* How to choose a heat level that fits your voice, your genre, and your readers
* How to build emotional investment before and physical intimacy (the real tension)
* How to weave spice into plot and character so it earns its place
* The specific craft techniques that make sex scenes memorable

 

Whatever genre you’re writing in, you'll walk away with a framework for writing intimate scenes that work.
