Why should I join ROSA?

“ROSA has been invaluable to me as a South African romance author. I’ve learned a lot from the workshops, and the retreats are a MUST. I’ve made some of my best author friends through ROSA!”

“A community where we can and will have access to current trends, support and experts in all areas of the writing landscape.”

“When I joined ROSA I was clueless on where to start with my writing journey and dream, but the moment I became a member, my life changed because ROSA became more than an organisation, it became a support system, I learnt a lot , I’m still learning daily, but mostly the people I meet and get to know and interact with are such inspiring writers that it rubs off on a person. The commitment from the committee also shows from all the activities they arrange which helps writers grow, I’m grateful for being part of such a wonderful organisation.”
