The Oklahoma Romance Writers Guild RomanceLahoma Conference is a conference for romance writers about all things romance writing, publishing, & marketing. This conference, combined with the Heart Awards book contest & the RDR Book Event are fundraisers used to keep the Guild FREE to all its members as well as help keep other programs, like the annual writer's retreat, as inexpensive as possible. All romance writers are invited to become members. Our monthly meetings will remain both in-person and broadcasted via Zoom so that even our non-Oklahoma members can join in.
Join us July 31, 2026, for RomanceLahoma!
