THAT is the point&#8230;..&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my feelings, to the letter.\u00a0 RWA claims to be a romance writer&#8217;s advocate.\u00a0\u00a0 RWA Nationals&#8217; site reads:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;.Romance Writers of America is dedicated to advancing the professional interests of career-focused romance writers through networking and advocacy&#8230;..&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Advancing the professional interest of career focused romance writers.\u00a0 Advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>Well, quite a few of us write for epubs.\u00a0 But there&#8217;s isn&#8217;t one single bit of reliable info about epubs that RWA has EVER provided, to my knowledge.\u00a0 None.\u00a0 Any knowledge I have, I&#8217;ve learned on my own or thru other writers, local chapters, etc.\u00a0 But from the National level?\u00a0 Nothing.<\/p>\n<p>How can they claim to advocate for writers like me when they don&#8217;t even understand a thing about digital publishing?<\/p>\n<p>In the six years since I&#8217;ve been a member, I&#8217;ve seen this:<\/p>\n<p>First a couple of epubs can&#8217;t be recognized, because they haven&#8217;t sold X amount of one particular books.<\/p>\n<p>Okay.\u00a0 So the pubs SELL X amount.\u00a0 And they are recognized.<\/p>\n<p>THEN they AREN&#8217;T recognized, because the board made the decision that in order to be recognized, there is the matter of advances.<\/p>\n<p>THEN some epubbed\/small press authors aren&#8217;t allowed to sign books at Nationals because the cover violated some policy that previously hadn&#8217;t ever been an issue.\u00a0 Ironically, this couldn&#8217;t be decided BEFOREHAND.\u00a0 To my knowledge, wasn&#8217;t even addressed beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>THEN there&#8217;s the matter of &#8216;defining romance&#8217; and frankly since the books with the &#8216;objectionable&#8217; subject matter stemmed from epubs, it feels like yet another slap, another attempt to keep us down.<\/p>\n<p>THEN there&#8217;s the matter of entering contests.\u00a0 Some recognize us as pubbed, so we can&#8217;t enter this contest.\u00a0 Or unpubbed, so we can&#8217;t enter that.\u00a0 OR the copyright date of the initial epub prevents us from entering the print version in THAT contest.<\/p>\n<p>THEN there&#8217;s the matter of some authors can&#8217;t advertise their books in the RWR because of a particular policy, that previously hadn&#8217;t really been there\/been enforced\/heard of by general members beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>THEN there is the matter that last year epubs could have workshops.\u00a0 And now they can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry. It is ALWAYS something.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry.\u00a0 But after you&#8217;ve been on the side where I am for X amount of years and have this flung at you, one thing after another, year after year after year, it definitely feels like somebody is trying to shut the epubbed authors out.<\/p>\n<p>Romance has long been the &#8216;ugly red-headed stepchild&#8217; of publishing.\u00a0 We all know that.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve had to defend what we write, we&#8217;ve had to tolerate the mocking, the insults, the sneers.<\/p>\n<p>However, now a particular segment of RWA&#8217;s membership is being dealt the same hand-from other romance writers.\u00a0 Either it&#8217;s over epublishing, or writing erotic romance, or both, that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re getting-or at least that feels from where we&#8217;re sitting and since we&#8217;re the ones who have to really deal with the fall out, it doesn&#8217;t matter if we&#8217;re seeing things in a way it wasn&#8217;t intended.\u00a0 For us, the damage is already done.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are the people who mock\/degrade\/deride\/tease romance writers about romance aren&#8217;t going to realize how insulting they are being.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if certain members of RWA (in particular the board) realize how very insulted and inconsequential they&#8217;ve made many of us feel.<\/p>\n<p>We pay our dues-just like everybody else.\u00a0 We write, and we work hard, just like everybody else.<\/p>\n<p>Why is so impossible for the board to understand the need to give epublishing more of a voice among RWA?<\/p>\n<p>By failing to educate the members, all it is doing is making sure more members will end up signing bad contracts with epubs, making uninformed decisions, etc, etc, etc.\u00a0 Those bad ones ARE out there.\u00a0 There are some I wouldn&#8217;t touch with a ten foot pole.\u00a0 RWA, if they are the &#8216;advocate&#8217; they claim to be, needs to get involved in the matter and educate the members so they know who to steer clear of.\u00a0 Or at least give them the info they need to make an educated choice.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it&#8217;s not even about the damn workshop.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not.\u00a0 It&#8217;s about RWA&#8217;s refusal, year after year, to even acknowlege the epubbed as valid and worthy of some of the advocacy RWA is supposed to stand for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FYI, I don&#8217;t view RWA&#8217;s board as some evil group of women who are just determined to keep some of us down.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t.\u00a0 I<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shilohwalker.com\/website\/2009\/06\/about-epubs-rwa-where-i-stand\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;About epubs &amp;
