Such a lovely book post today from the wonderful Dr Hilary Johnson who has helped so many writers into print. Poems and images of the retired racing greyhounds who have brought her so much joy. #drhilaryjohnson #authorsadvisoryservice #newwritersscheme #greyhounds #greyhoundlover #retiredgreyhounds #poems #images #dogloversofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CkLSeo0LNzw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was rootling around one of my bookcases yesterday and pulled out this fabulous book full of recollections about the @romanticnovelists. It was published to celebrate fifty years of romantic novelists, mostly but by no means all women, offering support, help - with their amazing #newwritersscheme - and fabulous fun. I joined in 1992, the year my first book was published. It was our Diamond Jubilee last year and the association is bigger and better than ever. #romanticnovelistsassociation ##writingcommunity #writingcraft #writingromance (at East Grinstead) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUcBcP0g5_7/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Romantic Novelists' Association was founded 60 years ago to raise the prestige of romantic fiction and exists today to champion the quality and diversity of that genre. It is primarily for published authors - and numbers many Sunday Times best selling authors amongst it's members - but its outstanding New Writers' Scheme has helped a huge number of writers over the publishing threshold. The RNA also gives seven Diversity and Inclusion Bursaries annually to support writers on this scheme. I have been a member for 27 years, go the lunches and talks with my local chapter and to its wonderful annual conference. We don't care about gender, sexual orientation or colour. We only care that you write about love.
