Pikes Peak Writers Conference 2025

Hook readers and elevate your storytelling skills with a story blueprint based on tropes for genre fiction. This session will define what tropes are (and aren't) and how they can be used in your story. Attendees will learn the expectations and implications of several tropes, how to deconstruct the framework, and how to seamlessly integrate tropes across genres. Dawn Alexander and Jessica Snyder will: - define what a trope is (and isn't) and why they are useful in fiction - deconstruct the framework, expectations and implications of a trope - show you how to utilize them across genres - provide plenty of examples so you can implement them in your own writing.
