Disaffiliation Announcement

In October of 2021, the membership of the Silicon Valley Chapter of RWA voted in favor of disaffiliating from RWA national, effective 12/31/21. Our organization had been profoundly hurt by decisions made by RWA national over the previous two years, resulting in the loss of over half of our membership. With this move toward disaffiliation, we hoped to welcome back friends and colleagues who left SVRWA because they felt RWA’s values didn’t align with their own, and welcome new members who might have hesitated to join us in the past.

SVRWA served Bay Area romance writers and industry professionals for nearly 25 years and we look forward to serving this community for many more years to come as an independent nonprofit. For information on joining our new organization, please email president.gsrw@gmail.com.
