Workshops

The Long Island Romance Writers turned 25 in 2021!

Find out where we've been and where we're going.

Our membership spans a wide breadth of skill and experience, from prolific, multi-published, best-selling authors to those just striking out, from traditionally published to independently. Our members write in all genres of romance: contemporary, sweet, erotic, historical, paranormal, and women's fiction.

Workshop Calendar

LIRW hosts monthly programs on the craft, business, and inspiration of writing. Workshops are free to members. Non-members are welcome to join for a nominal fee.
