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 are both 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 August 1st and 2nd, 2025 for RomanceLahoma!

RED DIRT ROMANCE BOOK EVENT

*Each RDR Signing author table comes with (1) Author ticket and (1) Assistant ticket. The Assistant is only allowed to attend the RDR Book Event and must work at the author’s table. Closer to the event, we will reach out for your assistant’s name. If your assistant would like to attend RomanceLahoma or any of the banquets, additional tickets will need to be purchased for them.

*Attending authors may ONLY sell THEIR books at their table. This is why Pen Name(s) were asked when registering for RomanceLahoma. (This means you can’t sell a friend’s book at a table you purchased)

*There is also a waitlist for people who wish to have a table at RDR, in case more tables become available.
