Speaker Schedule

VFRW members enjoy a slate of programs from a varied and highly skilled group of speakers.

We plan our programs to ensure we touch on all the elements important to Romance writers:

Craft (lessons on the mechanics of character and plot, voice, and style),
Business (topics focused on publishing, marketing, and taxes),
Industry (updates on the publishing world and specific areas of interest to writers.)

Many of our speakers are current or former members of VFRW.
We would be happy to recommend any of our previous speakers — feel free to use our Contact Us page to ask for more information.
