Happy birthday to Marketing for Romance Writers 2015. I created MFRWorg on Halloween, 9 years ago this year. It's hard to believe it's been that long. It had about 12 members because those were the people I was always talking to and we would ask each other marketing type questions. We were each other's resource. I had been getting emails for a long time and would answer with what I knew. When I realized I was getting the same questions in slightly different forms from multiple people, I decided to make it easier on all of us and create a group where we could post once and get answers from everyone. Voila! MFRW was born. 

I should have called it Marketing for Writers. Many of our current members don't write romance, but some principles carry over to every kind of book, and every kind of writer. It doesn't matter though, because those who don't mind looking past the name will find answers to their questions.

There are thousands of members now. The group fills a unique place, and creates a safe place to ask questions, without having to deal with constant promo. However, if you need a place to share a post, come ask. Opportunities abound.

What is Marketing for Romance Writers?
