Open to both members and non-members of the Guild, the workshop will allow participants to learn more about romance writing. Led by Nova Scotia author Michelle Helliwell from Romance Writers of Atlantic Canada (RWAC), this event will cover not only the romance genre and what constitutes a “romance,” but will also dive deep into the romantic arc, the hero(one)’s journey, heat levels, romantic tension and how to build sexual tension, and how to write that sometimes awkward sex scene effectively. Helliwell will also inform participants about the publishing process specific to the romance genre. Register at peiwritersguild.com. For information visit peiwritersguild.com or email peiwritersguild@gmail.com.

Some people get into it, some less so, but it’s fun for all. You’ll have your chance to interpret clues, possible motives for potential wrong doing, and be part of a team up with other guests and join in the fun of hunting for clues and collecting bits of gossip from the conversations around them to finally determine who dunnit and why?
