Welcome to the Prairieland Romance Writers

 
 

We've Been Promoting Excellence in Romantic Fiction Since 1992!


 
 

     Welcome to the Prairieland Romance Writers website. Located in central Nebraska, we serve as a regional chapter of RWA, with members coming from all over the state, and occasionally across the country, to join us at chapter meetings and online loops and events. PRW offers a unique experience to aspiring writers of romance and women’s fiction.  We’re a small chapter, averaging around 15 members, and can offer friendships, critique and brainstorming opportunities, workshops and roundtable discussions that allow for every voice and question to be heard. Yet, the majority of our authors are published in romance fiction, women’s fiction, non-fiction and more, so there is a wide range of expertise and mentorship available to new and almost published writers in addition to networking with authors who share a similar publishing experience.  Our members pursue a variety of writing, from romantic suspense to cozy mysteries, from erotic to inspirational romance, from historical to contemporary writing. We can boast many award winners and contest finalists, including the RITA, the National Readers Choice Award, the Daphne du Maurier, the Maggie and the Golden Heart. Some of our authors have over a million copies of their books in print, while others are celebrating their first release or the completion of a first manuscript.

     So much variety. So much talent and support and expertise. So much opportunity. We hope you’ll check out the rest of our website, and, if you’re ever in the Midwest, join us at one of our monthly meetings or annual retreats. And remember that online opportunities to be a part of the small but mighty Prairieland Romance Writers are available as well. Feel free to contact us with any questions about visiting or joining.
