Great resource for romance writers!

This book was full of useful advice and information I could use to improve my writing and manage a career in writing romance. I signed my first publishing contract this year and am trying to learn everything I can about how to be successful, and hearing about Jennifer's experiences was very helpful. I will listen to this audio book again and again! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great book on the craft and business of writing romance!

very helpful

I just started my again writing. I've always loved it and would love to right full time. I am on chapter 5 of my first real book and felt I needed a little help. this book gave me the encouragment to keep going. when I would take a small break from my novel, I'd listen to this. she has lots of tips and relatability. With this book, I'm confident I will eventually "finish the damn book!" LOL

For all writers, especially because of honesty about the business

Kudos to Probst for writing an honest book. I appreciated her deep dive into numbers, writer’s angst, and some other topics that don’t always appear in a discourse/memoir on the business of writing. Enjoyed!

helpful for beginning writers

I enjoy this book. Good information for beginning writers. Answers questions concerning publishing self or through publishing company.

An engaging, humorous, and useful resource.

Write Naked by Jennifer Probst, narrated by Kelsey Navarro, is a candid account of the author's journey to success. Full of honest anecdotes of her mistakes along the way, she provides encouragement and examples of what pitfalls to avoid. Excerpts from her books are shared to demonstrate different elements of craft. The narration was clear and concise, an easy and enjoyable listen. An engaging, humorous, and useful resource that I know I will return to as I move forward in my writing endeavors.
