After teaching literally thousands of writers across the world…

I’ve created an Online Workshop on plotting that works, over and over across all genres. Now I’ve tailored it just for Romance Authors.

A published Romance author who wants to streamline your plotting or revising process to write more novels faster?

OR...

A newer writer overwhelmed with how to plot a solid Romance novel?

Plotting for Romance Writers gives you:

A total of 26 Deep-Dive Lectures to review as many times as you need, at your own pace.

Handouts and Learning Materials including:

  • Romance Story Structure Templates to use again and again
  • Completed Template examples, using well-known romance movies
  • Character Belief System Examples to power up YOUR story
  • Character Traits to help you reveal character growth
  • 26 Common Romance Tropes
  • Subplots and Secondary Story Lines
  • Scene and Sequel Templates

And more…

Discover:

  • The two types of Romance stories and how to structure for both.
  • Strategies to motivate your characters to drive their own stories.
  • Examine the differences between a Romance and a story with strong Romantic elements.

The BREAK INTO FICTION© PLOTTING FOR ROMANCE WRITERS WORKSHOP will benefit you throughout your career!

PLUS, you’ll retain access to ALL course material—Lectures, Bonus Lectures, Course Materials, Quizzes and Q & A sessions—forever.

This gives you the chance to revisit the lectures to nail down those concepts whenever you need.

I hope to see you in the workshop!

Frequently Asked Questions about the Break Into Fiction® for Romance Writers Workshop
Does it matter if I’m a new writer?
Nope! As a new writer, NOW is the ideal time to commit to learning story structure and the craft of writing. You’ll be off to a GREAT start learning solid character driven plot at the beginning of your career. This course will put you on a shorter and smoother path to completing your story, and the next one.
I’m already a published Romance writer. How will this course help me?
Even published authors run into speed bumps—the need to be plotting the next book, even as you’re writing the current one, time constraints and, this is the most important, finding yourself wanting to change sub-genres within Romance, or switch to a genre with strong Romantic Elements instead of straight Romance. So, even if you’re comfortable writing what you’re writing now, plan ahead. Find ways to tighten the revision process, so you can focus on the next book quicker. This workshop will not be at this price again, you may not need it today, but you’ll have it in your tool box when you do need it.

How do the sessions work?
Once you register for the workshop you'll immediately receive access in the classroom to all of the lectures, bonus material and quizzes to learn on your schedule. The material is divided into pre-work and weekly sections. Don't skip the pre-work! It covers the methods and material you will need to learn the material. If you're joining the live workshop beginning on February 3rd, 2024, you'll be ready to hit the ground running on week one!

What if I have questions as I’m reading the material?
You can note down questions as they occur to you and post them in the weekly LIVE Q&A sessions. Mary will answer any posted or new questions you might have. So, ask away! It's the best way to learn. If you are not planning to attend the February workshop you can email questions to Mary directly.

What if I can’t attend a specific Q&A session?
If you’re worried about missing a session, there’s no need. All the weekly Live Q&A sessions will be made available for replay.

Here's what other writers are saying about working with Mary:

"You are showing me that I am worthy and capable of being a writer. You've given me the tools, and these tools are giving me confidence in my abilities. Can’t wait to dig back into my Romance and revamp it with clear, actionable understanding of what needs changing."
~N. D.

"Here & taking notes like crazy! The step by step approach definitely helps clear things in my mind. And explains why some story pieces weren't working."
~R. P.

"In a plotting workshop with Mary I discovered that I was taking the one-damn-thing-after-another approach to plotting. Using what I learned in her workshop I rewrote my manuscript with a solid plot, not just stuff happening!"

~Melissa
