About

From enemies to lovers, fake dating, and the ever-iconic second chance at love, tropes are the beating heart of romance fiction. Authors Melodie Edwards, Jenny Holiday, and Emily Ohanjanians unpack why readers can’t get enough of familiar storylines told in fresh, surprising ways. Together they’ll explore how tropes evolve with each generation, how they reflect cultural shifts in love and relationships, and how writers can use (or subvert) them to craft stories that feel both timeless and new. A lively discussion for readers and writers alike who adore the art of a well-executed trope.
