Welcome to Rose City Romance Writers!


Rose City Romance Writers (RCRW) is the Portland, Oregon chapter of the Romance Writers of America (RWA), a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization.


Our mission is to educate, support, and mentor our members in the profession of romance writing.


All are welcome here!

RCRW is a welcoming and inclusive group of romance writers based predominantly in the Portland, Oregon area. You need not live in Portland (or even Oregon) to join.


We have all levels of writers in RCRW. We have brand new writers, those with first drafts completed (we like to call that ‘pre-published’) and over one half of our members are published writers. How’s that for a great testimonial?

Looking for help, encouragement and/or camaraderie? We are your group!
