Update to Stroke of Midnight Contest

Due to the overwhelming low number of entries for the 2012 Stroke of Midnight contest, the Passionate Ink Board of Directors has made changes to the number of finalists that will be announced.

Maintaining the integrity of our contest is our first priority and rather than cancel the contest, the Board has decided to lower the number of finalists in each category to three.

Therefore, the final round judge will rank the finalist entries in first, second and third place.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Upcoming Workshops

We have some awesome workshops coming up, so be sure and check out the Workshops page!

Passionate Ink is the 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, educated, supported, and encouraged.

Our goal is to promote erotic romance through education about the different kinds and heat levels of erotic romance, and to encourage good will and respect for 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.

To educate new, almost-there and published erotic romance writers by offering a safe place to exchange ideas, resources, craft advice and industry news.
To create a safe forum for networking with all members of Passionate Ink.
To support and encourage all erotic romance writers.
To educate others about the different sub-genres, styles and heat levels within erotic romance.
