Community Roundtable: Romance
If you're in love with romance - fictional, that is - let's get together and talk about it.
All romance writers (whether you're just thinking about it, trying to finish your first work, seeking publication, or are published) are invited to chat about their favorite genre. Too often, authors are isolated at their desks, in their favorite chairs, or at their local coffee shop, writing but not communicating with others interested in their genre. Let's change that. Come to listen, ask questions, or share (note that this is not a critique group).
Roundtables will recur monthly on the second Monday.
You can expect:
- Support
- Accountability
- Brainstorming
- Goal setting
- Camaraderie
- Sharing of craft and business information
