The Alexandra Writers’ Centre, Get Lit Series: Ever After
From the Meet-Cute Moment to Happily Ever After
Drawing on my screenwriting certification, I had the pleasure of presenting a one-hour workshop at the Alexandra Writers Centre’s “Ever After” Get Lit day. My focus was on structuring romance novels using the 3-Act structure, offering insights and techniques to enhance storytelling in this beloved genre.

Continuing Education
Screenwriting Certification
I completed a screenwriting program at George Brown College in the summer of 2023. The curriculum included Screenwriting One, Two, Three, and a comprehensive Dialogue Writing course. It’s been exciting to learn feature film writing skills. As part of the curriculum, I’ve been writing a script for a Chicago cop story titled The Good Boy, which will also be a book. I can’t wait to share this mystery thriller story with my readers.
