Romantasy is the fastest-growing genre in publishing right now. So how do writers stand out in a crowded marketplace, to create and pitch a book that's unique but also commercially viable?
Drawing on industry data and real stories, romantasy author and Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize shortlistee Amy de la Force will deliver a masterclass on blending swoony romance with fantasy stakes. The session will unpack genre essentials, explore high-concept ideas, and end with a Q&A on agent querying and editor submissions.
Part of the Romance Writing Festival in Bournemouth.
All participants will receive a copy of Amy's book.
