ABOUT MARA
A Monthly Meetup for Romance Writers
Mid-America Romance Authors (MARA) is dedicated to providing support, education, and information for all those interested in writing and/or selling romantic-oriented fiction, fostering professionalism in the romantic-oriented fiction field, and providing community service through education and information.
Education & Community
We gather speakers from all facets of the romance writing community for presentations on everything from plotting, conflict building, character development, publishing, contracts, social media and marketing, goal setting, and so much more!
If you want to connect to other romance authors, hone your skills as a writer, or learn more about what's happening in this ever-changing genre, we would love for you to join us!
