Writing Intimacy with Ruby Barrett
Writing Intimacy with Ruby Barrett
Writing on-page intimacy can be intimidating for even the most seasoned of genre fiction writers. As the author of high-heat, open door romances, Ruby Barrett has mastered the art of on-page intimacy that is inclusive of all genders and heat levels. Ruby will help authors identify the heat level they are comfortable with for their stories, provide advice on how to approach intimate scenes without using overly flowery or — what is sometimes deemed as — cheesy language, and how intimate scenes can and should be used to progress plot in genre fiction.
