Your romance author super strength isâ
You love working with other authorsâand they love working with you!
If you were a romance novel, youâd fall into the âwhy choose?â sub-genre since youâre happiest when you have more than one partner to cheer on and cheer you on.
As an author, youâre a lot like the lovers in your storyâyou donât want to do this alone, so you find your mates and help each other hit âpublishâ together!

Your Enchanting Author style breakdown
(And by breakdown I donât mean the collapse on the daybed, fanning yourself kind ⊠just to be clear)
Your heroine’s go to quote
âIâd love to be spontaneous with you, honey, even though I was planning to go to bed early tonight.â
Your perfect reader review
âOnce I picked up this romance I could not put it down. The story grabbed me by the feels and I one-clicked her next book since I didnât want to leave her story world.â
Your perfect day as a romance author
You wake up and check in with your writing partner to make sure sheâs online and ready to sprint with you. You set and declare your mini-goals, write for 25 minutes then take a 5-minute break to chat before you get back to writing more words because this book wonât write itself and youâre committed to becoming a published romance author.

A love letter to your romance author personality
Dear enchanting romance author,
I know we just met, but hereâs the thing:
I see you and your team-seeking ways.
Itâs time to embrace your author personality to fall in love with the process of writing your romance.
No matter where you are in your manuscript relationshipâ
- at the awkward meet cute stage, still getting to know each other,
- or the delicious falling in love stage where everything flows like a chocolate fountain,
- or the heartbreaking part of the writing process when your confidence or motivation has walked away with nary a kiss on the forehead,
- or the inevitable coming back togetherâsince this is a love story!âand the grand gesture when your manuscript shares its most precious secrets with you and cradles you until you reach âThe endâ
âyou need to know that every romance author you read and love took time to figure out how to work with their stories, what their own writing happy place is, and wrote scrappy rough drafts before anyone ever saw a word of the stories that make you laugh and cry and feelâŠ
And, that just like the two (or three of four) characters youâre creating a happily ever after story for, your own author happily ever after will probably not be found on your own. Even the grumpiest hero who believes heâll never pair with another is eventually brightened by a sunshine-y counterpart.
Not to suggest that you are cloudy! No, no, no!
What I mean is, if youâve been trying and struggling to write your romance on your own, your people are here for you. If youâve had any of these thoughts, the attractive hero with the perfect teeth and just-messy-enough hair over in the corner has something theyâd like to whisper in your ear. Lean in, just a littleâŠ
You donât have to do this alone. Iâve got you. Let me help youâŠ
