Trick or Trope: A spicy paranormal writing workshop!

Learn to write spicy paranormal stories (over chocolate treats!) with instructor Megan Hennessey, Table Conversation, &amp; Read My Lips Boston. During this two-hour paranormal romance writing workshop, you’ll craft spicy, high-heat scenes featuring vampires, werewolves, witches and monsters! Led by romance writing and editing instructor Megan Hennessey, you’ll use examples from popular titles to explore how to create paranormal worlds and write sex scenes that will make even the undead blush. At the end of the workshop, you'll write your own steamy scenes, so make sure to bring your preferred writing instruments (laptop, notebook and pen, etc.). As a special sweet treat, you’ll also get to indulge in chocolate from local artisan and event host Wild Child Chocolate! Stay to network with other romance fans in the Table Conversation space and pick up a few titles to give you inspiration at the Read My Lips Boston romance pop-up. Meet your instructor: <a href="https://www.meganhennesseywrites.com/">Megan Hennessey</a> got her start in romance at the height of 50 Shades of Grey at Sourcebooks Casablanca reading the slush pile.
