Join Louisville Romance Writers in 2011 for a year filled with fun, fellowship and education! Workshops are held during the second half of each of our monthly meetings, and cover a wide variety of writing-related topics, from craft to creativity, from coming up with the perfect pitch to describing the perfect first kiss.
January - Productivity tips for the busy writer
February - Join us as we kick off our First Annual LRW Writing Challenge! To help us celebrate, we've invited as our very special guest, NY Times best-selling author, Lani Diane Rich.
