Welcome to the beginning of a whole new year. I am very excited about ARWA’s new program this year and hope our members will be too. “Build a Book in a Year” will be fantastic! Together we will build our books from beginning to end through our Thursday night meetings and Saturday workshops.

As your new President, I’m absolutely thrilled this is the program for this year as I feel it will be full of energy, and the creative juices will flow. Could it get any better than this? Yes!! The Board is dedicated to helping all our members get back on that writing horse (if you, like me, have fallen off into the dust), and giving continued encouragement to those who are still in the saddle.

Write well, write often, and if that doesn’t happen, don’t sweat the small stuff…

ARWA President

Build a Book in a Year

In the 20-year history of ARWA, our members have achieved a wide variety of successes, nourished by the strong support of this organization. Not only have these accomplishments been measured by publication in long romance fiction, but also by countless successes in every other area of writing—long and short fiction, screenwriting, playwriting, poetry, non-fiction and technical writing. The opportunities are as varied as the individuals who make up our membership.

In order to reaffirm our commitment to the development of our writers, ARWA is embarking upon an exciting new program for 2007-2008: “Build a Book in a Year.” Step-by-step-, we will explore the creative layers you need to become the writer you want to be. Along the way there will be countless opportunities for work shopping and feedback as together we make the journey from premise to the submission of your work.
