Formed in 2019, the Oklahoma Romance Writers Guild (OKRWG) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote higher standards for the written word. We seek to coordinate and encourage professional writing, specifically pertaining to writing the romance genre, romance sub-genres, and romantic subplots in Oklahoma.
OKRWG does not discriminate against any person or group of people in the administration of programs and services of this organization, including on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
NOTE: OKRWG is NOT affiliated with Romance Writers of America, however, we do encourage you to check them out if you're interested in the Romance genre's national organization.
