Become a Member: Associate Membership

If you are an industry professional, an editor, agent or publisher, who works in the fields of romance or women's fiction, Romance Writers of America invites you to consider an Associate Membership in our association. RWA is truly the "Voice of Romance," with a membership of over 10,000 writers dedicated to pursuing a career in romance fiction. We believe that the opportunity to interact with our ever-growing membership would prove to be extremely helpful to you.

Associate members may not vote in RWA elections, but they receive most of the other benefits of membership: including our monthly magazine, the Romance Writers Report, eNotes, networking opportunities and access to some of the most polished unpublished manuscripts in the business written and perfected by RWA members.

Also, each year RWA hosts a National Conference where over 2,000 members and the major industry professionals gather. There are hundreds of workshops, author-editor panels, industry information sessions, editor and agent appointments, a multi-author book signing to benefit literacy, publisher parties, an awards ceremony that recognizes the best books in the genre, and unparalleled opportunities to network with others in the field of romance. With an Associate Membership in RWA, you receive a discounted rate so that you too can be part of this premiere annual event.

We invite you to join RWA today!
