Dee Savoy

Forgive me folks. It’s been brought to my attention that there is a little confusion involving the class I’m teaching this summer. Apparently in the body of the post it stated that class began the week of May 19, though the schedule for the class lists the first lesson will be posted the week of June 30th. Obviously, that doesn’t jibe and May 19th has already passed, so that can’t be right. Unfortunately, I had intended to give the class in the spring, but that didn’t work out, which accounts for the May 19th date that I forgot to change. Many apologies for that.

So, if you were thinking about taking this course, no you haven’t missed anything. Class doesn’t start until June 30th. Registration is open until the Friday before the first class. Just in case, here’s the complete, revised announcement.

National bestselling, Emma-award winning author for Romance Suspense Deirdre Savoy will be facilitating this month-long workshop set to begin the week of June 30. This workshop is for authors wanting to learn the basic craft of writing romantic suspense or those seeking to add a bit of dramatic spice to any novel.

Course syllabus:

June 30: What is suspense–how do you achieve it and how do you use it:
Jul 7: Dark suspense vs. light suspense–how to create the effect you want
July 14: The devil in the details–making suspense believable.
July 21: Love on the run–how to use suspense to heighten the romance and vice versa.

Each week, a lecture and assignment will be posted. Completion and posting of assigned work for peer review is not mandatory but advised if students want to get the most from the class.

Who should take this course:

–first time R/S authors looking to learn the basics
–R/S authors looking to hone their craft
–any author interested in taking their writing to new levels
