Excellent resource and a must have for any aspiring writer of romance. I had looked for many, many, many books that would help me with different words for different 'parts' and had been disappointed with the offerings until I ran into this little gem. I adore it, it not only gives the lists for different wording and phrasing of 'parts' and 'actions', it gives advice on what to avoid and why. It also gives tips on writing that are invaluable. I cannot recommend highly enough!
Like many writers, I have a shelf of writing reference guides: thesauruses, dictionaries, style guides, and more. But I never had a book like Naughty Words for Nice Writers. Cara Bristol does a fabulous job suggesting alternate words to replace a variety of awkward standards, plus she offers some helpful writing tips in a concise, easy to understand way. I remembered why I do some of the things I do, and was reminded about best practices I've lost along the way.I highly recommend this book to new writers as well as seasoned professionals. It's on my shelf right now, but I think it's more likely to be by my keyboard more often.
Naughty Words for Nice Writers is an excellent resource for romance writers, particularly those who like to include those yummy extra spicy scenes. It’s organized into categories (body parts, lust, various naughty actions, kissing, etc.) so you’ll be able to find what you’re looking for easily. Writers of spanking fiction will also find a comprehensive listing of words just for them. I’m keeping this book right next to my computer!
I love this little book! There are a few romance novel tip books that have been valued resources in the past and this one has moved right into that category. The tips to avoid has already helped me weed out extraneous verbiage and helped to tighten my current WIP. Phrases for those body parts we all know and love can become a problem on occasion and it helps to have a reference with more suggestions to draw from. If you are a romance writer on the spicier end of the spectrum you have to get this book. (If only for the spanking chapter alone!)Excellent resource!
Perfect resource for any level author whether just starting out or well established. Great to have a physical copy which I can flip through to paint a scene in my mind.Love the tips and tricks, it's like you have Cara Bristol herself sitting next to you, helping you with your manuscript. Five super shiny stars!
This is a fantastic resource!My favorites are the A-Z Active sex words and the phases of sexual response.This has so much information packed perfectly into this book.I've already bookmarked a few pages, including the "words to avoid" section.I'm so happy to have this within easy reach!
As a romance author, I use this book several times a week. I bought a hard copy so I could have it just an arm's length away. I always used to go to Cara's website where she had a portion of this info for her fellow authors, but this is even better. It is a must have for romance authors.
Definitely a must-have for every writer's reference shelf! It's not just for steamy erotica writers. Any scene with intimacy will benefit from this reference book. There's also a great list of words/phrases in general to avoid and why doing so will make your writing that much better.
