| A Taste of Summer Camp |
What is MFRW? It stands for Marketing for Romance Writers,
which is a peer group for authors and others in the literary community. Our
motto is “Seek, teach, share, learn, succeed.”
The group helps us focus on learning marketing and publicity.
We seek ways to advance our careers, brainstorm new ventures and ideas, get feedback,
and find others interested in working together. We provide free workshops. You can
take a class or teach one.

We welcome marketing-related material that asks a question, offers
a promo or idea, or is a request for help, advice, or opinions. We offer opportunities
to promote and join others in promotional efforts. As fellow authors (published
and not-yet), publishers, and other members of the literary community, we are your
support group and co-workers. Need to buy pens, pins, or other goodies? Found a
great place to do that? We hope you’ll share the news.

We’re open to the entire literary community. Our writing is not
discussed; we focus on creating an image and using it effectively. We provide ways
to learn new ideas, new skills, to gain new opportunities, and share them with others.

While promotions are not allowed on the Yahoo group, news about
pitch sessions and calls for submission are. We coordinate pitch events with publishers
for our members. On Facebook, we promote and share news. We link our blogs via a
unique software “ribbon” in blog hops. We pin books by members on Pinterest,
and show off our cover models. We share tweets on Twitter. We interview each other
on BlogTalkRadio. We’re about to open a Goodreads group. You are welcome to join
us at all our locations. We offer assistance to our members in every way we can.

Why? Because we want you to succeed.
This is our second annual Marketing Summer Camp. This year’s theme is “A Taste of Summer Camp” and we’ve promoted it by sharing recipes on our blogs, Facebook pages, and with tweets. We partnered with Coffee Time Romance to hold the three-day all free conference in their forum. We have volunteer speakers giving classes, and panels on how to promote books. Here is the schedule.

| Summer Camp! |
How much does this cost? A lot of time and energy, but the camp itself is free. We do this for our members every year. So how much is membership? That’s free too. We’re a Yahoo Group of about 1800 people, from every part of the literary community. We are mostly romance writers, but we’re also poets, technical writers, and bloggers. We have publisher members, cover artists, and other professionals.
Why not join us and find out what it’s like? Wander over to the Coffee Time Romance forum and join up. Come by our Yahoo group and see what we’re up to. We promote for our members on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, BlogTalkRadio, and we’re about to open a Goodreads group. Maybe you’ll find a place you feel at home. Bring your questions.
