OCRW is planning for the year ahead. With elections in October, several board and volunteer positions will be available in 2027, including three board seats.

Do you know a romance writer who might enjoy OCRW?
From July through December, new members can join for $30, half off the regular annual membership fee.

OCRW members are invited to bring a non-member guest to our June meeting for free!

This is a wonderful chance to introduce a writing friend to Orange County Romance Writers and let them experience one of our monthly programs at no cost.

To register, non-member guests should visit the June meeting event page and enter the discount code below during checkout...

We’d love to get to know you!

OCRW’s Member Spotlight celebrates romance writers at every stage of the journey—from first drafts to published books and everything in between.

Share a little about yourself, your writing, your favorite tropes, current projects, and what makes you passionate about storytelling. Whether you’re pre-published, indie, traditional, hybrid, or simply exploring your creative path, you are welcome here.

Submit your upcoming release to ON THE BOOKSHELF so we can feature it in our newsletter and socials.

OCRW's Book in a Year (BIAY) challenge is designed to help writers stay focused, accountable, and moving forward.

OCRW members can now reserve their spots for the remaining 2026 meetings through the event calendar.
