Monthly Meetings
JOIN US for a one day conference to get you on the "write" track! CTRWA is thrilled to welcome:
NY Times, USA Today, and Publisher's Weekly bestselling author
Kristan Higgins
He Said, She Said: Writing Great Dialogue
Great dialogue can make or break your story. It drives pacing, clues us in to the character's personality, and helps us identify with them. Learn from a master of wit what it takes to make your dialogue sparkle (and if we know Kristan, this is sure to be an entertaining presentation!)
Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author
Jamie Beck
Choosing the Right Point of View
You may think you understand point of view, but how can you be sure which one is the strongest choice for your story? Let Jamie help you master your story telling technique by connecting on a deeper level with your readers.
Jason Wrench
Don't Underestimate the Importance of Body Language!
A professor in the Department of Communication at SUNY New Paltz, Jason has plenty to share about how to help your characters communicate without speaking a word! With over 20 academic books and 15 romances published, he has a lot of wisdom to impart on this topic that doesn't get taught very often but is so important!
Established 1981. CTRWA is a division of Romance Writers of America.
