Welcome to the Evergreen RWA! We're delighted you're here.
"The mission of Evergreen Romance Writers of America is to advance the professional interests of career-focused romance writers through networking and advocacy. RWA works to support the efforts of its members to earn a living, to make a full-time career out of writing romance—or a part-time one that generously supplements his/her main income."
A little bit about us...
We meet in a lovely private room at Lombardi’s Restaurant at the vibrant Everett waterfront on the third Saturday of each month from 11:30-1:00PM and sharing a meal afterward and more chatter for those able to join in from 1:00-2:45 PM. (Open board meetings, if applicable, will be 11:00-11:30. Please see Meetings page for complete details.)
Our second annual WATERFRONT BOOK FESTIVAL is gearing up! Be sure to mark you calendar for SUNDAY, AUGUST 26th, 2012! Our first ever WATERFRONT BOOK FESTIVAL on August 28th was a huge success with authors selling over 100 books so we're doing it again - bigger and better!
Some of the programs we have planned are:
EVERGREEN INK - Our chapter blog with news, articles and lots of fun stuff is now LIVE!.
A mentoring program.
Contests – Saving the Best for Last, a contest for unpublished writers. The Booksellers’ Choice for published writers.
Fabulous and informative monthly meetings with a diversity of speakers and subjects.
All new members, if they are interested, can have a synopsis and one chapter critique by the chapter President, Lori Lyn.
At the monthly meetings, we will have raffles and giveaways and other fun things, including chocolate.
We will be comprising a list of chapter "experts" - members with an area of expertise their fellow chapter mates may turn to for help, so if you're willing to volunteer, just contact Lori Lyn.
Again, Welcome to Evergreen RWA.
