About Emerald City Romance Writers

Located in the Seattle/Puget Sound area of Washington state, Emerald City Romance Writers is dedicated to promoting excellence in romantic fiction by helping writers become published in the romance genre and providing a place where writers — both published and unpublished — can come for growth, support, inspiration and education. We are proud of our authors and the fact that the Northwest continues to be a hotbed of talent.

​

We write about love, romance, and passion in all its forms, and we are proud of our diverse and inclusive community. Everyone needs love, and we have members who write stories about every kind of love there is, with something for everyone. ECRW is a safe space. We welcome all writers of any background, any heat level, any genre, any whatever-you-can-think-of. We have room for members who don't write romance, but most of our content does focus on romance writing.

You are welcome here!

Previously, ECRW was known as the Greater Seattle Romance Writers of America. In October 2021, chapter members voted to disaffiliate from the national Romance Writers of America organization, effective November 2021.
