“The books are about the celebration of falling in love and emotion and commitment, and all of those things we really want.”

Nora Roberts, best-selling romance author.

Romance novels feature a relationship between two people and an optimistic ending. Because we all LOVE a happy ending… critique away!

    Say hi & tell us what you are writing :)

    Hi there! My name is Celeste.

    I write mostly urban fantasy but with a strong romantic flavor. I also have an insatiable appetite for paranormal romance. I can’t get enough of it. As soon as I put one down, I’m picking up the next one.

    Right now I’m waiting on the next Christine Feehan Dark Series novel. I’ve been waiting too long already!

    Trying to write like her is what led me to urban fantasy–but PNR will always be my first love.

    Hello! I’m Elizabeth Reeve. I live in Tucson, where it is currently raining, which means my power might go out before I finish writing this – but I’ll see if I can make it.

    I write romance in speculative subgenres, the bulk of which is paranormal, even though I used to think of myself as a high fantasy writer. Go figure. I’ve also done some historical (…plus magic), and even one teeny, tiny, completely contemporary, non-speculative erotica piece.

    I’m looking forward to meeting some new people and potential critique partners!

    I’m Sherry and I live in Kansas City, Missouri.

    This site is heaven sent!!

    I write romantic suspense, contemporary, and women’s fiction. I’ve just had one of my manuscript picked up by a publisher and I’m working on edits. My current WIP is a romantic suspense I hope to have completed by the end of September.

    I’m looking forward to meeting new friends and a potential CP

    Congratulations, Sherry! That’s really exciting.

  • Profile picture of Dawn Dawn said 1 year, 9 months ago ago:

    I love seeing people from MO; especially SW MO :) I’m from Morrisville, MO originally, but now live in Lincoln, NE.

    Anyway, I’m Dawn. Not much to say about me really. I have two cats, one husband, and one son (who is finally kind of working on scooting forward). I have a very eclectic taste in music ranging from Queen to Nightwish; Conway Twitty to Toby Keith. I’m 21 years old and can be very passionate about a few things and laid back about most other things. I’m pretty much an open book.

    I’m in northern California, and I write romance. Currently, I am going through first revisions on my first completed novel and am suffering writer’s remorse for the first time. I also have two other novels in lesser states of completion, and I’m about to jump ship from this one for a while. I would love to find a critique partner that is a good fit for me, and for whom I will also be a good fit, of course. I’ve tried before, and it hasn’t worked. There has to be a balance. I’m mostly looking for content editing help more so than copy editing.

    Hi, I’m Heather. I live in New Jersey. Definitely NOT one of the Jersey Shore or Housewives of New Jersey types. They are here but most of us aren’t like that! Just sayin’…

    I am a mother of a really cool 16 yr old. He’s so fun. I have a step son from my second marriage, also fun. My husband is as close to a hero as I could find, because let’s face it ladies, I have yet to meet a man like the ones we write about.

    My current WIP is the, at times, ‘epic’ love story of two Special Ops agents/soldiers trying to balance a real life with the job they do. I wouldn’t say it falls into the Romantic Suspense category, though there is some action/adventure, but most of it pertains to how they relate to each other while doing their job.

    I’m looking to get to know other writers and critique partners with an open mind. I tend to not be into mainstream. I have varied and sometimes eclectic tastes when it comes to stories. That said, I always try to keep an open mind myself. Can’t expect it if you don’t give it, right?

    Hi,
    I’m Retta. I’m a stay-home Mom with a 6 year old and I live in Vancouver, BC. I might be Canadian but I don’t speak Canadian. I don’t say “eh” or “Aboot”.

    I’ve been writing fan fiction for House M.D. for 2 years and finally decided to try original fic and see if I can get published. For all the time I spend writing stories, I thought I should see if my stuff is worthy of being read by the masses.

    I like to write romance stories. Not erotica, though. I just like to tell a story and have the readers like the characters enough to want to stay with the story. I have a lot to learn though and I’m hoping to perfect my craft by taking courses.

    Anything else you wanna know, please feel free to ask. See you around!

    Hello! I recently moved from the pacific northwest to western Kentucky and the availability of writing groups here is nothing compared to Washington. Sad. Anyway, I writing contemporary romance, am aiming at publication with Harlequin Super Romance line. I love to read historical romance- Julia Quinn is one of my favorites in that genre.

    I’m a stay at home mom with 4 teenagers and I’ve been married 19 years. Asside from writing my hobbies include gardening, reading, scrapbooking, and quilting.

    Hey! (Southern greeting)

    Currently writing a clean romance with an older woman as the heroine. I’ve written non-fiction, and a couple of other romances. That said, even though I’ve written several books, I feel like I’m a novice writer. I’ve never taken a writing class and have been teaching myself through google alerts.

    Looking for a critique partner–someone who prefers no-nonsense candor to reassurance. So, if you’re an odd duck, like me, would love to hear from you,
    Robin

    Hi! In my life as a singer/songwriter/performer, I refer to myself as “A rocker chick stuck in an acoustic folksinger’s body.” I feel good about my songwriting skills (which I’ve been working on since I was 9…er, that would be many years ago is all we need to know). I’m much newer to writing novels, though, and eager to learn all that I can.

    My current WIP is a fun, contemporary romance that parallels the love story of a budding musician with her rise to the top. (Write what you know, right?) I have written a full soundtrack of songs to complement the storyline. I am interested in meeting a critique partner(s) who can help me refine my story and develop my writing.

    If you’re interested, I’d be delighted to hear from you.

    Best,
    Tina
