M.L. Buchman -Estate Planning for Authors: preparing your heirs to inherit:

 

What happens when you die? No, really! Elvis’ estate was almost worthless when he died, it’s now worth $400M+. Jane Austen’s books were out of print for a decade, then the heirs (not knowing what they had) sold outright all copyright for a paltry sum and they haven’t been out of print since. If you want the complexities of your IP to survive you, it’s up to you to set it up now.

Welcome!

Welcome to the official website of the Maine Romance Writers. We are an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting fiction writers. With an emphasis on romance fiction in all genres, our mission is to encourage writers at every point in their journey. Whether you’re newly published, a seasoned writer or looking to publish your debut novel, MRW offers monthly meetings that focus on all aspects of a writer’s journey, from craft to marketing to the business aspects of writing.

Founded in 1996 as a chapter of Romance Writers of America, we stepped out from under their umbrella in 2013, but our goals remain the same—to support and encourage one another in the ever-changing landscape of publication through education and friendship. Whether you choose a traditional path, go with a small press, or publish as an independent or self-published author, we always welcome new members.
