We look forward to seeing you at a meeting soon,

• Monthly educational programs on topics pertinent to romance writing

• One-on-one mentoring program

• An audio lending-library

• The opportunity to submit five pages for a critique by two published authors

• The chance to interact with fellow romance enthusiasts

Our One-On-One Mentoring Program:

For a three-month period you have access via email to your very own Answer Person. Your mentor will answer your questions about the business of writing and give you advice on pitching your book to editors and agents, fine-tuning a synopsis, the ups and downs of contests, conferences, critique groups, etc. What they can't do, however is critique your work. They are all busy people and critiquing requires a great deal of time. Each author will let you know what they are willing to do and how much time they can give you. All they ask in return is that you support them when you can by reading some of their books, sending reviews to book sites or encouraging friends and family to attend their book signings. Whatever you are able to do will be appreciated.
