Our Published and Unpublished Contests Are Now Open!

Contests open June 1 for NJRW members, June 3 for all others. Visit our Golden Leaf and Put Your Heart in a Book Contests to get all the details.

Congratulations to our JeRoWriMo Participants!

Our yearly challenge to write 30,000 words in the month of February has ended! Our members love to cheer each other on while motivating themselves to finish that draft or revise that manuscript. 

​Welcome to NJRW!

New Jersey Romance Writers (NJRW) was chartered in 1986 as a state chapter (Chapter 34) of Romance Writers of America to serve as a nonprofit trade association for romance writers. Our membership includes New Jersey residents, as well as long-distance members from across the United States. In addition, our roster of published members includes well-known authors who have achieved best-seller status on New York Times, USA Today and other major lists, as well as RITA® finalists and winners. Members’ works include contemporary, historical, suspense, mystery, paranormal, women’s fiction and young adult books, as well as other genres, for print and electronic publishing houses.​
