Our Motto is “One hand reaching forward, one hand reaching back.”
Orange County Romance Writers (OCRW) is a supportive writers group that formed in 2022 after the local Orange County chapter split away from the national Romance Writers of America association. Many members of OCC-RWA continued with OCRW, sharing the wealth of their knowledge about the original association.
OCRW is a nonprofit organization working toward developing new authors, enhancing the careers of published authors and improving recognition for romance writers and the romance publishing industry.
