Making Peace With Conflict:  Conflict is an essential ingredient for romance novels, and in fact for all fiction. Too much conflict, and your reader won't accept the premise of your novel. Too little, and your story will be boring. The right amount of conflict, used skillfully, will help you to develop your plot and give your reader the catharsis she's looking for when she reads.

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.
