About Posy Roberts
Posy Roberts started reading romance when she was young, sneaking peeks at adult books long before she should’ve. Textbooks eventually replaced the novels, and for years she existed without reading for fun. When she finally picked up a romance two decades later, it was like slipping on a soft hoodie . . . that didn’t quite fit like it used to. She wanted something more.
She wanted to read about men falling in love with each other. She wanted to explore beyond the happily ever after and see characters navigate the unpredictability of life. So Posy sat down at her keyboard to write the books she wanted to read.
Her stories have been USA Today’s Happily Ever After Must-Reads and Rainbow Award finalists. When she’s not writing, she’s spending time with her family and friends and doing anything possible to get out of grocery shopping and cooking.

My muse inspired me to write a 300,000-word piece of fanfiction that started me out on this writing journey in the first place and later a trilogy just as long over a summer.
My muse is powerful when she shows up. Instead of listening to my muse, I’ve filled my d4 months ago Read more -

Blog postI have a bookshelf filled with journals I rarely use. Some I’ve never opened. They’re too precious to write in. Sound familiar? After investing in all these beautiful journals and buying gorgeous fountain pens that make writing on paper a joy, I was determined to use these tools. I was blocked writing on my computer, but analog seemed to be breaking that block for me. Serendipity? I’d like to think so.

Blog postOver the last eleven years, I’ve used nearly every tool out there for writing, editing, and formatting that I could get my hands on. Grammarly, Hemingway, PerfectIt, Scrivener, Word, and more. But there’s one tool I took a leap of faith on without trying it first, and I’m so glad I did. In 2018, I bought a lifetime license for ProWritingAid. It is the most useful tool for me as a writer once I hit the self-editing stage. It’s helped me tighten up my writing, and I swear it’s helped me become1 year ago Read more

Blog postAfter voting in November 2016, my best friend and I headed to a Mexican restaurant as we waited for polls to close and votes to be tabulated. We were hopeful, excited about the real prospect of seeing a woman in the White House, and we chose our cuisine that night as a wink to having a taco truck on every corner in the very near future. Yum!
Three hours later we’d moved to a bar so we could see the election results roll in. We had few glasses of wine, still in high spirits, and then e2 years ago Read more -
