Organizations

SFWA

Science Fiction Writers Association

RWA®

Romance Writers of America® is one of the few professional writing organizations that does not require publication before joining. I've been a member since 2004 and gained RWA® PRO status in 2005. This wonderful organization has provided encouragement, support, and opportunities I wouldn't have had without it. I strongly recommend it for any writer who incorporates romantic elements in their fiction. Because I live hours away from any local chapters, I belong to the two closest chapters. Each has given me something invaluablefriends who understand.
