The Romance Writers of America is over 8,000 members strong. It is the largest fiction writing group devoted to a single genre. Unlike many writers' organizations, the RWA is open to both published and unpublished authors.

The RWA Hall Of Fame honors a select group of top authors. The Lifetime Achievement Award, presented at the RWA Annual Conference honors an author's entire body of work.
