YARWA - A brand-new special interest chapter for writers of YA fiction. You must be a Romance Writers of America member to join. YARWA membership is $15 for new members and $10 to renew each year. I’m currently on the board as the PRO liaison, which means I take care of our chapter’s almost-published authors. PROs are RWA members who’ve completed at least one manuscript and can prove to RWA that they’re actively seeking publication.
