You’ve reached the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal (FF&P) Chapter of the Romance Writers of America. FF&P has been a part of RWA since November 2009. The mission of FF&P is to promote excellence in romantic, futuristic, fantasy, time travel and paranormal fiction, to help writers become published in the genre, and to provide current information and continuing support to the writers in the romantic, futuristic, fantasy, time travel and paranormal industry.
As our 15th year kicks off, we have begun making strides in helping our members grow as writers and a community.
We have a great newsletter filled with informative articles and market updates, a regularly updated blog, and a website to keep you posted on the latest news in the industry including: workshops, author links, new book releases, FF&P contest information and more.
To both the published and aspiring author in our field, FF&P is an invaluable group. And as serious writers in our field, we have a critique group (on this website) and an on-line members-only forum (on the RWA website).
Members of this RWA chapter are a great group of people and always there to support their fellow writers. For information on how to join, please visit our join page.
