Greetings to you from the gang at Northern Lights Writers

 Welcome!

Have you ever dreamed of writing a romance novel?

Are you writing one now?

If so, would you like to meet other romance writers? 
We would love to meet you!



Writing a novel can be a long and lonely road, but not if you find your "tribe;" people who understand what you're going through and support you on the way to publication.


Northern Lights Writers is a chapter of Romance Writers of America. Because we meet on Zoom, our members are scattered throughout the country and Canada, but our home base is in Minnesota.

Our Purpose:  To advance the professional interests of career-focused writers through networking, information, and education, and to provide continuing support for writers within the romance publishing industry.

Membership:  Open to anyone eighteen or older who has an interest in writing professionally. National membership is a requirement for enrollment in a local chapter. You are welcome to attend two meetings before committing to join.

Meetings:  Usually held on the third Monday of the month at 6 pm CT on Zoom.

Email nlwriters@gmail.com or dmeinstad@gmail.com for more information.

Annual Retreat:  Held for a full weekend in October! (This year we found beautiful timeshares at Izaty's Resort for an entire week and they were cheaper than weekend prices elsewhere. Everyone had the option to come for part of the week or all of it.)

Why join?

Happy New Year from the gang at Northern Lights Writers

 

Happy New Year from the gals at Northern Lights Writers of Minnesota

We've survived the holidays and now we're burrowed in for the winter, reading, writing, and trying to stay warm during this continual cold snap. Because of Covid, we're going to continue getting together online via Zoom, at least until spring.

Read some good books and stay warm!
