What is Passionate Ink?

Passionate Ink is a Special Interest Chapter of Romance Writers of America for erotic romance writers. We are an online chapter with members from all over the world. With the rapid growth of erotic romance as a sub-genre, our goal is to have an official presence within RWA, as well as a voice in the industry. This is the place for erotic romance writers to be heard, understood, supported, encouraged and promoted.

Our goal is to promote erotic romance through education about the different levels of erotic romance, and promotion and overall good will towards all romance writers, regardless of the genre in which they write.

We are all romance writers with varying degrees of sensual content in our writing. The Passionate Ink Chapter believes in exploring all forms of romance, without boundaries, and the happily ever after that comes with a committed relationship.
