How to Write a Love Story

Three writers who have written (and edited) some of the most memorable romances of recent years – David Nicholls, Lotte Jeffs, and Sareeta Domingo – talk about their love for the genre, reveal secrets to creating chemistry and suspense, share their favourite meet-cutes from fiction, and ask whether happy endings are important anymore. Chaired by Andrés N Ordorica.
