Contemporary romance refers to stories set in the present day, grounded in a real-world setting, where the central focus is the development of a romantic relationship that leads to an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending.
These stories reflect modern relationships, challenges, and experiences, and can range from lighthearted and humorous to deeply emotional and complex.
While many of our members also write across a variety of genres and categories, Contemporary Romance Writers is centered on contemporary romance as defined above. Our programming and resources are designed to support writers working within this space while also helping members grow across their broader writing careers.
