Description
Hello and welcome to Romance Writer’s Therapy! Some people write therapeutically, authors need therapy after writing. We aren’t therapists, but we feel like we need one. This podcast is like our group therapy, just a couple of budding romance authors discussing writing, storytelling, reading and publishing--with many detours along the way.
