Romance Writers of Australia

In August 1991 an historic meeting of eight women took place in Sydney - a meeting that gave birth to the Romance Writers of Australia (RWA). Although we began with only eight members, we now support over 700 members and our membership includes writers from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States and the United Kingdom. RWA has become internationally recognised and respected by both category and mainstream publishers of romance. Taking place in the picturesque Hobart Tasmania, the 2025 Romance Writers of Australia conference (RWA) is a weekend not to be missed! Join us from the 22 - 24 August for three days of professional development, industry networking, and social events, you’ll leave ready to write off into the sunset. As part of the 2025 RWAus Conference, we will be hosting a silent auction online, which you can participate in even if you are not attending the conference! The raffle will be hosted in person, the 'old fashioned way' for those attending in person. Thank you to all the contributors and generous donations to the silent auction and raffle!
