Join seasoned author and editor Alisa Kwitney for a three-hour romance writing workshop. Participants will be guided through the process of writing their own historical romance scene using Staatsburgh and its compelling characters as their inspiration. Following a tour of the mansion, written prompts, site-specific settings, and some of the most popular tropes or scenarios from Historical Romance Fiction are just some of the tools that will enable writers of all levels to create a written scene and leave with a better understanding of the mansion and of historical romance, and with the inspiration for writing their own historical romance stories. Light refreshments are included.
