Our membership includes writers of all levels of accomplishment and ability. We are a mix of writers who have recently decided to write a romance novel and professional writers who are successful with multi-book contracts.

You must be a member of our parent organization, Romance Writers of America® in good standing before becoming one of us. RWA membership dues are $99, with a first time processing fee of $25 for the first year. Click here for the RWA website.

Once you have received your RWA member number, fill out the VRW online application form. Our chapter dues are only $5 annually.

Once you have submitted the form to join, an email with the PayPal info will be sent for you to pay or renew your dues.

Once we receive receipt of your paid dues, you will be invited to join our private FB group where you may post questions and share your experiences. You will also receive email updates and be invited to the monthly VRW meetings for a combination of camaraderie and guest speaker workshops on topics that range from how to start your novel to communicating through social media with your growing fans.

Your VRW membership may qualify as a business expense for tax purposes, but it is not a charitable contribution.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact our Membership Chair at varomwritersmemb@gmail.com.

We look forward to having you in our VRW member group!
