Romance Writers of Australia has so much to offer, it can be quite overwhelming for new members. To help those new to RWA find their way around the organisation they are invited to join the New Member Liaison program. This program assigns new members an Advisor, who will answer all questions relating to RWA for up to 3 months. Full details are provided when you join.
To join RWA:
1. Fill in a membership form and send it to the Members Secretary via email or post
2. Pay the appropriate membership fee and a $10 admin fee.
You need to complete both steps to become a full RWA member in good standing. Please allow time for processing.
Annual membership fees are:
Those residing within Australia: $82.50
(Base fee $75.00 plus GST and postage)
Those residing outside Australia: $99.00
(Base fee $75 plus postage)
All amounts are in Australian dollars.
If you are paying by PayPal you still need to fill in a separate application form and post or email it to the Member Secretary/ Registrar so your details can be recorded. Your membership application cannot be processed until the application form is received.
To join us, download and print the Membership Application Form, and post it to the address on the form, along with your payment. This process normally takes up to four weeks, as it is handled by volunteers, so please be patient.
Testimonials
Joining the New Member's Liaison scheme has helped me ease into a new world that contains an overwhelming amount of information. My Liaison was lovely, helpful and encouraging; she'd ‘been there, done that' and is generous enough to be happy to share her knowledge and help a newbie along.

The Romance Writers of Australia NML Scheme is extremely innovative. I have never felt so welcomed nor had so much advice provided from any other writing organisation I have joined. My advisor provided me with countless ‘signposts' for the provision of information which has been invaluable in my quest to write a novel. I had no idea there was so much support out there for the aspiring novelist. I can highly recommend the NML scheme as one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to encounter.
