We, the members of the Chicago-North Chapter of Romance Writers of America®, come together to promote excellence in romantic fiction and advance the professional interests of career-focused romance writers through networking and advocacy, dissemination of information, professional education, publications, and other appropriate activities, and to provide continuing support for writers within the romance publishing industry.
We encourage our fellow romance writers with unconditional support, incisive critiques, and a professional network.
Our purpose is to nurture each other as we strive for excellence and achievement of our romance publication goals.
