The NTRW Story

Who we are...

A group of romance authors who love creating happily ever afters for our characters. We work hard at our craft, support each other, take publishing seriously, and still try to have fun at every turn. Stop in and visit with us at a meeting or two. You'll find a kind North Texas welcome.

What we are...

Our organization started life as a chapter of Romance Writers of America and was a part of the organization until 2022. In 2022, the membership voted to disaffiliate, and NT began a new phase of existence simply as North Texas Romance Writers.

We hope to continue to grow and attract writers at all stages of experience as well as from all corners of the DFW Metroplex.

NTRW offers educational programs, a friendly atmosphere for networking, and access to the latest information on agents, editors and publishers of romantic fiction.

Our mission continues to be one of education, support, and mentorship for published and pre-published members in the profession of romance writing.

The Last Three Chapters

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What best sells your next book? The ending of your previous book! A satisfying ending ties together all the pieces of your novel – the character arcs, the relationship arcs, the plot, the carefully laid out details – and gives the reader a feeling of completion and satisfaction. They have trusted you with their time and emotions and have been rewarded with an ending that makes them sigh (and recommend your book!).

The journey resulted in a positive experience and they will be open to taking that trip again with you, with your next book. A good ending feels like a story never ends in a reader’s mind and heart, and that means a continued satisfaction that you are responsible for. What better marketing is there?!

We’ll discuss all the parts of your story that need to be considered as you end your book – everything from major character arcs to little details. We’ll consider the big and small in concluding your story in a satisfying way to make your readers happy!
