Simmer & Yearn: Writing Low Heat Romance Course
Write romance that lingers long after the final page.
Who says you need to turn up the heat to set the page on fire?
In romance, the most electric moments often happen in the space between two people—the accidental brush of a hand, the breath held a second too long, or the confession that’s been hovering on the tip of the tongue for a hundred pages.
Simmer & Yearn is a course in the power of restraint. This course shifts the focus away from explicit scenes and into the inner world, where tension is built through subtext, longing, and emotional connection.
If you want to write romance that aches, builds, and satisfies without relying on heat, this course will show you how.
4 live 60-minute interactive sessions with your host, award-winning author Cara Crescent.

I enjoyed this course very much, and it has helped give me new things to think about when crafting my own work, romance-based or not. Thanks so much for putting it together!
One of the things I most wanted to improve was the heat factor in intense scenes, really building up that fire. And I thought the class helped with that a ton!
