— WRITING MAY BE A SOLITARY JOB
but you don't have to do it alone. 💜
We writers spend a lot of time by ourselves. We stare at our screens, delete perfectly good paragraphs, and wonder why we ever thought writing a book was a good idea. 😊

Then we spend a few hours with other writers and remember, “Ohh, yeah. These are my people.”

This October, Connecticut Romance Writers is bringing writers together for a special weekend with bestselling author Jane Porter.

Join us Saturday, October 17, for a three-hour seminar with Jane—only $60, including lunch—or make a weekend of it at our October 16–18 writers’ retreat for $400. Only 1 retreat spot left! Retreat guests will also have the opportunity for a private critique session with Jane.

Whether you're published or pursuing publication, come spend some time with people who understand the frustrations and absolute joy of creating stories.

Come find your people with CTRWA. 💜

YOU KNOW THE FEELING:
The words won’t come. Your plot refuses to cooperate. And your characters are standing around waiting for you to figure out what happens next.
That, my writing friend, is your brain stuck in mental constipation mode.
The cure? Spending time with other writers!
Get out of that rut by joining CTRWA and our special guest, bestselling author Jane Porter!
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO JOIN US:

* Three-Hour Seminar — Saturday, October 17
Spend the morning learning from Jane during two informative sessions:
• Plotting, Writing, and Launching a Series
• What Editors Look for in a Submission
Registration is $60 and includes lunch.

— we need your help spreading the word! 📣
Our October events with Jane Porter are getting closer, and we'd love to reach as many writers as possible.
We have two ways to join us:
✍️ Jane Porter Seminar – Saturday, October 17 | $60, including lunch
🏡 Jane Porter Writing Retreat – October 16–18 | $400
Both events are open to the public and to writers of all genres — you do not need to be a CTRWA or RWA member to attend.
I'm tagging our members because we'd really appreciate your help sharing these two flyers! Please share them with your writer friends, critique partners, writing groups, or anyone you think might enjoy spending some time learning from Jane.
Every share helps us reach someone new. ❤️
All the details for both events are in the flyer below! 👇
