Sometimes, a side character can steal every scene they’re in, making us wish they had their own novel (or giving us inspiration for a sequel!). Who’s your favourite side character, and did they/will they get their own happy ending? #RomComMarch

Where is your rom-com set and why? What’s your favorite setting — a city, a small town, somewhere you’ve lived, or a vacation destination? Is your setting a dreamy backdrop or almost a character? #RomComMarch

If you could spend a day with any rom-com character, who would it be? One of your own creations, or the steamy cinnamon roll from your favorite series? What about them is so hot? Or if it’s just-friends vibes, why them? #RomComMarch

There are so many pitch events these days! Show us how you’d pitch your book in a unique way: food, poster, soundtrack, or something more “unhinged”. #RomComMarch

Share your favourite rom-com (book or movie!) and why it’s your fave. What makes it shine? Because our TBR piles aren’t tall enough 😬😬 (Please note: it’s fine to plug your own published works!) #RomComMarch

No, not _those_! Where do your characters spend most of their time? Do they have a hobby (or job) that defines them? Is it one of your own, or something you’d like to try someday? #RomComMarch

What’re your favorite rom-com tropes? Which ones will you be including? Let’s jump into one bed, meet the grump to our sunshine, fake date our childhood bestie while a fish out of water, all while in forced proximity to a secret royal! #RomComMarch

What’s your favorite part of the writing process? What part do you just hate? Share tips and tricks to make it through the hardest parts. #RomComMarch

Do you have an actor already chosen to play your MC in a movie? A gorgeous model who fits your LI to a T? Art that captures them exactly? Fancast your characters so we can see them, too! #RomComMarch

Starting out strong by helping each other! What have you learnt about writing romance or comedy that you can share with us? What has helped you level up your writing in this genre? #RomComMarch

Why this, why now? What made you fall in love with rom-coms: reading, writing, or watching? What characteristics of the genre make you swoon? #RomComMarch

Where do you see your characters in ten years’ time? Twenty? What does their Happily Ever After look like? #RomComMarch

Moana has Heihei. Rapunzel has Pascal. Who does your MC have? Share a pic of the companion who keeps you warm while you write (or keeps you from writing!) or introduce a fur friend from your WIP. No pets allowed? Share a snippet where one of your characters is a dog or the GOAT! #RomComMarch

Let’s talk pacing! Some romances jump right to butterflies the first time the characters meet, and some make us wait literal books until the characters hold hands. Does your #RomComMarch project dive into kisses, or are there pages and pages of pining? Which do you prefer?

Make us laugh 😅 Share your favourite comedic moment, be it from your own project or your favourite rom-com! #RomComMarch

Do you have an actor already chosen to play your MC in a movie? A gorgeous model who fits your LI to a T? Art that captures them exactly? Fancast your characters so we can see them, too! #RomComMarch

What would you do if your life were a rom-com? Would you be the LI, the MC, the astute bestie? Would you need a grump to match your sunshine or a himbo to match your savvy? Would you fall for your college rival or your childhood buddy? #RomComMarch

Let's talk setting 🌴 🌳 🌲 Where is your rom-com set and why? What’s your favorite setting — a city, a small town, somewhere you’ve lived, or a vacation destination? Is your setting a dreamy backdrop or almost a character? #RomComMarch
