The workshop

A hands-on weekend masterclass with book coach and romance author, Gala Russ. Offered by Gala Russ and Beth Barany.

How great would it be to create romantic subplots that feel authentic, enrich your main story, and keep readers emotionally invested? 

 

Yes please! Tell me more!  


What if your romantic subplot didn’t just add romance, but deepened character development, heightened tension, and seamlessly intertwined with your main plot? 


What if using romantic tropes felt intentional and compelling rather than cliché?


It can be! 

 

In this hands-on weekend masterclass, you’ll learn and practice crafting undeniable romantic chemistry that keeps readers hooked, ensures relationship progression, and reinforces your story’s core conflict.


What others are saying about Gala's teaching...

Helped me plot!

"You just helped me plot the romantic interest for the first three books. Now, to get to work writing! Again, thank you so much."

So interesting!
"It was so interesting to see how your process works and how the subplot developed through your exploratory conversation..."

Best session so far!

"This has been the best session so far! Going through each aspect of the GMC for both the main plot and the subplot/romance plot was super helpful!! And showing the way to weave in the subplot into the main plot structure was also super helpful!"
