Join us at the breathtaking Niagara Falls for RWA2025, where we invite you to Fall Into Romance and immerse yourself in four unforgettable days of inspiration, connection, and career growth. The conference is packed with something for every stage of your writing journey—from beginner to advanced.

In addition to workshops focused on craft, career, business, research, and the writer’s life, each evening you’ll enjoy lively receptions featuring special guest speakers who will inspire and entertain. On the final day of the conference, we’ll come together to honor excellence in service at our awards ceremony, followed by a high-energy afterparty you won’t want to miss.

Pitch your work directly to editors from Harlequin and Tule, and gain insider knowledge from industry leaders with special presentations from Draft2Digital, Kobo, BookFunnel, Wattpad, and more. And don’t miss the Expo, a vibrant marketplace that brings together vendors, signing authors, and RWA chapters in a celebration of all things romance.
