Hello everyone and welcome to 2023! We have a whole new year of classes to look forward to. As always, you can browse classes and sign up for them through out eventbrite page. Just a new year reminder that Romancing the Gothic is a free education project. We believe in making educational resources free but we run entirely on donations and we’re only just getting by. If you want to (and can) support the project, you can do so through Ko-fi (one off or monthly) or patreon (monthly or yearly – the yearly option has a discount!) Thanks to everyone who’s supported us and here’s to another year of excellent classes. You can catch up with previous talks through our YouTube channel or our ‘Class Schedules‘ page.
Goths for Breakfast!
Before I give you information on our January talks, some exciting news! We’re holding our first charity event. On 5th February, we’re running a marathon day of classes and workshops with great guests. All the classes are online and most are recorded so even if you can’t make some (or even any!), you’ll still get sent a recording. You can join in from anywhere around the world and choose your donation amount. Find the programme and buy your ticket here.

Romancing the Gothic 
Hello there. First of all, thank you so much for having such website for gothic nerds. I just have a question about the class/book group reservations
Are book groups free too? And how can I sign up for the next month classes? (Faburary). I don’t see any upcoming class plans except for 3 on january. Could you help me with that? I ‘d be so glad

Hi, I’m sorry this is so late but I hadn’t seen it because the comment got put in moderation for some reason. The classes and book group are free. Give me a shout using the contact page if you’d like more details.
