Eight Ladies Writing

We are eight friends who met online in 2012 when we joined the inaugural Romance Writing Program at McDaniel College. In the ten months that followed, we lost many a night’s sleep, cried a little, laughed a lot, learned our craft, and got to know each other’s stories nearly as well as our own. When the program finished, we realized we weren’t ready to stop. We wanted to keep talking, arguing, encouraging, and pushing each other to make our books better. Some of us are already published, some us are striving towards that goal. We live very different lives in very different places, from the heart of the city to deep in the countryside, across four states and three continents. Among us, we’re writing historical, contemporary, magical, suspenseful, romantic, smart, funny, moving, character-driven fiction. We’d love you to join us as we share what we’ve learned, what we’re writing, and how we’re doing.
