Hello Fellow Writer,
Welcome to the official website of the Colorado Romance Writers (CRW), an affiliate of Romance Writers of America! We hope you will join us in becoming a stronger, supportive community.
At CRW, we are dedicated to promoting the careers of both pre-published and published
romance authors. We have a meeting every month where we have a speaker to discuss topics such as craft, industry, research and marketing. A luncheon is provided. The best part is socializing with each other and celebrating our cheers and consoling our tears.
The first half of the year, we have an exciting line up of speakers beginning with our own Ashley March in January on plotting, Diane Whiddon in February on promotions, Danica Favorite-McDonald on Taxes in March and Lia Slater on Writing Sex Scenes in April. In May, CRW will be joining the Heart of Denver Chapter to host a conference with Angela James, editor from Carina Press.
This is just the first half of the year. Wait, until you see the second half! We have Kim Killion, and Brooks Johnson coming to Denver in August. Kim is a talented author and is owner of Hot Damn Designs and Brooks is one of her male models.
We offer critique groups for members interested in them. I, myself, belong to one of them and find my group invaluable. We have an on-line Yahoo Loop for all members to use for announcements. We have a Book Buzz program whereby members use Twitter and Facebook to create and generate to celebrate member’s new releases.
CRW runs two prestigious contests – Heart of the Rockies (unpublished authors) and Award of Excellence (published authors). We’ve had numerous winners from HOTR receive full submissions from editors and agents. Contests are excellent way to receive feedback and promote your work.
For our published romance authors, we have a growing and enthusiastic PAL group where members can seek advice and support one another on a Yahoo Loop. In October, we celebrate romance authors and readers with a Tea featuring our published authors and honoring our readers. We have tea, coffee, sandwiches and dessert. We hope to see you there.
CRW has so much to offer and we hope you join us! Remember together we can.
Mary Guida, 2012 President

Hi everyone,
I'm blogging at www.karendocter.com/blog/ and currently changing things up a bit!
As many of you know, I run a Karen's Killer Fixin's feature on Fridays, where I post some of my favorite recipes. You know how I love to cook! Been collecting recipes for years. Anyway, I've recently instituted a special feature on Fridays called Karen's Killer Fixin's: *Author Special* where, in lieu of my own recipe, I highlight an…
