About Us
Organized in 1982, the San Diego chapter
of Romantic
Writers of America is a not-for-profit organization that promotes
excellence in romantic fiction, helps writers become published and
establish careers in their writing field, and provides continuing
support for writers within the romance publishing industry. The chapter
offers members a vehicle for exchanging industry news, information,
writing tips, support, and encouragement, and it benefits literacy. The
San Diego chapter is affiliated with the national Romance Writers of
America organization as Chapter 54. We are honored to count
among our
members Jill Limber, former president of the national RWA.
We hold monthly meetings
on the third Saturday of most months except July (when the annual
national conference is held) and December. Our programs span a full
day, including a morning session, followed by a chapter business
meeting and lunch, then an afternoon session.
Our monthly newsletter "Romantically Speaking," available to
members, provides details about the monthly meetings and a wealth of
other timely information.
Guests are welcome at the monthly meetings for up to two visits.
Only members may attend additional meetings and enjoy the other
benefits of membership. (Join our chapter.)
Chapter members must also be members in good standing of the national
organization, Romance Writers of America, Inc. (Join RWA national.)
