President’s Letter

From the writing desk of Katrina Marie

Dear CRW Members,

It’s that time of year when everything gets a bit busy. But we have some fun things planned for this month! We’ll have a member town hall in a couple of weeks. A Novel Celebration opens up today. And we’re doing CRWriMo for those who want to do a writing challenge this month! I have details on all of that below.

Thank you all for taking the time vote for the CRW board. Everyone who filled out a spot to volunteer in 2025, thank you! We’ll be reaching out to you soon about the areas you’d like to help with.

Do you want to host a members only workshop? We need a few more. Find out more here >> https://contemporaryromance.org/workshops/crw-workshop-policies-submissions/

I hope November is a productive month for you, and that accomplish everything you want to in this last quarter of the year.

Keep reading for important updates!

Welcome your 2025 CRW Board

CRW Town Hall Meeting

Join us on November 14th at 8PM EST / 7PM CST / 6PM MST / 5PM PST.
We’re excited to hang out with everyone. We don’t have a set topic. Add it to your calendar, and come hang out with your fellow members!

CRWriMo

Do you want to write 50,000 words this month? Do you need some accountability? Come hang out on the CRWriMo page. (You have to be logged in to see it.) There’s a place to update your daily word count, chat, and a zoom link where you can jump in at any time to write.

A Novel Celebration

Every year we like to celebrate the accomplishments of our members. All you have to do is record the books you’ve written in the form and in December five entries will be randomly selected to win a FREE membership renewal promo code for 2025.

Opens: 11/14/2024
Closes: 12/10/2024
