Instructor Tracey Livesay’s latest release, The Duchess Effect, is the sequel to American Royalty, which evokes the real-life romance between Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle, if Meghan was Megan Thee Stallion and was on virtually every summer 2022 reading list. Entertainment Weekly called American Royalty one of the “crowning achievements of the summer,” The Washington Post hinted that it felt like a real-life royal romance, “but steamier,” and Oprah Daily praised the book as “sexy, resonant, and real.” In addition to being named to USA Today’s list of “100 Black Novelists You Should Read,” she’s been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Entertainment Weekly and her book, Like Lovers Do, was named one of the 100 Best Fiction Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews. Tracey is also the 2018, 2020 and 2021 Emma Award winner for Best Interracial Romance. A former criminal defense attorney, she lives in Virginia with her husband—who she met on the very first day of law school—and is counting down the days until they have an empty nest. (Don’t worry, their three kids are well aware.)

Nothing angers readers more than characters who act with no motivation, just to service the plot. In this seminar, I will discuss how to craft believable characters who enhance, not detract, from your story.

Plot comes from character, not the other way around. In this seminar, I will discuss how to craft believable characters who enhance, not detract, from your story. Although this workshop will focus primarily on romantic fiction, it’s applicable to main characters in all types of fiction.
