Chapter # 126 -- Toledo, OH

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT ~ 2008

MVRWA is the local chapter of the Romance Writers of America from Toledo, Ohio. Our purpose is to advance the professional interest of career-focused romance writers through networking and advocacy.

We are friendly and welcoming writers in varying stages of our careers. We have members struggling to finish their first book, some members have many manuscripts written and are looking for a publisher. We also have authors with a few books published and multi-published authors who have been writing for more than a decade. No matter what stage your writing career is at, we can identify with you.

Topics of interest to our chapter include brainstorming for ideas, writing contests, submitting to editors, finding an agent (without losing your dignity or your mind), dealing with your first publishing contract, and promoting your work. And yes, we'll hold your hand when those nasty rejection letters foul your mailbox.

RWA is an international professional organization dedicated to furthering the interest of career-minded romance writers. You must be a member of RWA to join our local chapter.

You're invited to attend two MVRWA meetings to see if RWA and the local chapter is a good "fit" for you. Come out and see us!

Tracy Ritts, President MVRWA
