Welcome to Romance Writers in the Rough!

Hi! My name is Jenny Gilliam. I'm the author of 3 spicy, contemporary & 1 steamy romantic suspense novels with Amira Press & The Wild Rose Press. This is the official blog for my Yahoo! Writer's Group, Romance Writers in the Rough. We are a group of like-minded writers who share a love of reading and writing and romance. Please visit our site and join if you feel like this is a good fit for you. We are always looking for new faces. Below is a outline of what we are and our schedule:

"Brainchild of author Jenny Gilliam, Romance Writers in the Rough is a catch-all group that celebrates the joys and tears of writing. Come here to gripe, share great news, post chapters for critiques, find critiquing partners. Your posts can even be off-topic. Jenny created this group with the idea of having one group to provide everything--with little rules.

Here's our schedule:

Monday: PROMO Day; post your excerpts, contest info, reviews, etc.

Tuesday: Critique Day (One rule: For every chapter that is critted FOR you, you must CRIT the writer back in exchange.)

Wednesday: Anything Goes Day; Questions for other writers, post critiquing partner requests, good news to share, etc.--you get the picture. You may post promo items such as contest information, reviews, and other things.

Thursday: Anything Goes Day

Friday: Author Chat Days ~ If you are an author or publisher, please email me at: jenny@jennygilliam.com for details and scheduling.

Saturday: Critiquing Day (see above)

Sunday: PROMO


We'd love to see you on our loop!
