President’s Letter

From the writing desk of Katrina Marie

Dear CRW Members,

I hope your holiday season is starting off well. This time of year seems to always be busy with various family functions and events. The CRW Board wishes you a happy holiday season. If you missed the results of the board elections, you can find your new board members listed below.

Don’t forget to celebrate all your wins over the past year in the Novel Celebration. More information is down below. The cut off date for entries is December 10th.

If you signed up to volunteer in any capacity, we’ll be reaching out to you next month. If you’re interested in volunteering, you can fill out the form here >> https://form.jotform.com/242087922107152

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

Also, mark your calendars for the 2025 CRW Conference. The dates are July 25-27. We’ll have more information soon!

That’s all I have for now. I hope you have a great holiday, and we’ll see you in 2025!
