Page to Stage Writing Workshop: Romance

  • Big Couch 1045 Desire Street New Orleans, LA, 70117 United States (map)

Led by Farrah Rochon.

Page to Stage is a guided program to help you turn a story from an idea to a complete work ready to be performed at a live reading. Each quarter we release the theme of which all of our events for those three months will be centered.

This period’s theme is Romance! We’re exploring all things love - from romcoms to doomed romance to fantasy to gothic to domestic.

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, Maurice by E.M. Forster, Normal People by Sally Rooney, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters, and Seven Days in June by Tia Williams can kick off your romance journey.

At this event, Farrah will be leading a discussion on romance and what it means to write in that genre. She will be sharing generative prompts to help get some love stories flowing.

This event is free and open to all writers. No RSVP necessary.


About Farrah Rochon
