Welcome to the
North Texas Romance Writers of America Web Site
Chapter #33, Region 5 of the Romance Writers of America® was organized in March 1983 and offers educational programs, an informative monthly newsletter, a friendly atmosphere for networking, and access to the latest information on agents, editors and publishers of romantic fiction. NTRWA's mission is to educate, support, and mentor published and unpublished members in the profession of romance writing. Our membership includes writers, published and unpublished, representing a wide variety of fiction genres, including traditional romance, women's fiction, suspense, and young adult fiction--as well as published authors of non-fiction (books, newspaper, and magazine articles).
Join us in November for our annual Writers Roundup featuring author Margie Lawson.

Join us Saturday, July 11th when NT will present Speed Pitching
You’ve heard of Speed Dating where you sit at a table and try to make a date with a total stranger, and when the timer dings you get up and move to the next stranger at the next table.
In Speed Pitching, you will move from table to table pitching your manuscript to a small group of friendly, fellow NT members. They will ask questions and give feedback and when the timer dings you will move to the next table, until you’ve made your way around the room. This is a great chance to find out what works and what doesn’t in a safe, supportive atmosphere.
Everyone will have a chance to pitch and also a chance to listen and react. This is great practice for the next conference you attend and for some of you, that means Nationals. If you don’t have anything to pitch right now, please join us and play the part of agent or editor. We expect to have a lot of fun, and we might even learn something while we’re at it.
We will be meeting in the front room at La Hacienda for July, so we hope to see you there! The doors open at 10am and the program starts at 10:30.
