About Emerald City Romance Writers

Located in the Seattle/Puget Sound area of Washington state, Emerald City Romance Writers is dedicated to promoting excellence in romantic fiction by helping writers become published in the romance genre and providing a place where writers — both published and unpublished — can come for growth, support, inspiration and education. We are proud of our authors and the fact that the Northwest continues to be a hotbed of talent.

​

Every fall our chapter holds the popular Emerald City Writers’ Conference, the largest romance writing conference on the West Coast.

​

Previously, ECRW was known as the Greater Seattle Romance Writers of America. In October 2021, chapter members voted to disaffiliate from the national Romance Writers of America organization, effective November 2021.
