President’s Letter

From the writing desk of Katrina Marie

Dear CRW Members,

How are we already in May? It feels like this year is flying past us. If you missed the mid-month newsletter, the virtual conference registration is open! We’re excited about the line up, and can’t wait to see everyone there.
Want to get together and chat with your fellow romance authors? We’re having a member only mixer on June 12th! We’re stoked to hang out with you, and we plan on doing this is more often throughout the year.
We also have quite a few workshops this month and next month, don’t forget to check those out. Remember, the Members Only Workshops are free for members.
The mentorship program will also be wrapping up this month. I’ll be sending out surveys once it’s over.

Keep reading for important updates!

We have a great lineup so far for the CRW Virtual Conference. Remember, the conference is FREE for CRW members, use code: MEMBER24! We’re still looking for door prize donations! If you have a business related to writing, and would like to sponsor the conference, I have information on that as well. We give out door prizes during each session. If you’d like to donate a door prize, click the button below.

A huge thank you to our Gold Sponsors: HEA Author Services, Geek Girl Publishing, Nate Hoffelder: The Author Website Guy!
