About us
The Melbourne Romance Writers Guild was founded in November 1990 by a group of like-minded writers and has flourished over the years with members ranging from novice to the multi-published.
The Melbourne Romance Writers Guild is the sum of its members and the mission of each member is to inform, educate and support romance writers through their writing journey to publication and beyond. This includes developing craft and skill, providing moral support, learning about the industry and motivating members.
Many of our members are published (both traditionally and self-published) and we can boast of many competition and pubishing successes (as can be seen on our Home and Achievements pages).
Our annual retreat is extremely popular. A weekend of workshops, critiquing, a few wines and much fun and frivolity. We are lucky enough to have a fabulous 'guest speaker' to inspire and motivate us - past speakers include Anna Campbell, Stephanie London, Annie West and Rachel Bailey and we're very excited about our 2018 guest, Amy Andrews.

Our meetings
Meetings are held in Richmond on a monthly basis.
The meeting agenda includes discussion of market and competition news, member's accomplishments for the previous month (and the lovely reward of chocolate!) then lunch followed by a critique session or a workshop.
