A Message from our President


“You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.” ~ Brian Tracy

Many, many, many tiny efforts…

Like revision after revision after revision.

Many tiny efforts like looking throughperusing… scouring the Dictionary or the Thesaurus for just the right word.

Like asking ourselves “What if…?” and “What if…?” and “What if…?”.

Like all of the tiny efforts we, as authors, complete day after day in order to create the best story, the absolute best novel, we can.

But guess what? There’s a place where those tiny efforts are celebrated. Where, when we stumble over the large and small roadblocks we encounter in our writing careers, someone – often many people – are there to pick us up, dust us off and send us back to our stories, recharged and renewed.

Wondering where this magical, wondrous place could possibly be?

Right here – Colorado Romance Writers, where “together we can”.

Join us for craft-enriching workshops and a support network of other authors who will celebrate your successes with you and pick you up when you’re down.

Take the next step and take your career to the nest level by joining CRW today!
