Have you booked your place at The RNA’s Summer Fling, 16th August 2025, Birmingham?

Our brief for The Summer Fling was to devise a one-day conference to provide real value to all of our members who love both writing and romantic fiction, to appeal to new and old hands, trad published and indie. We think we’ve managed it, with experts who will cover aspects of craft, marketing and provide industry updates.

In addition, there will be time to chat with friends, make new ones and discuss important matters such as, why aren’t cowboy romances written in a UK or Irish setting … is it the rain or the wellies? Will billionaire romances go out of fashion amongst romantic fiction writers, given what certain billionaires are up to with our IP? AND … how can we write the books of our heart which readers want to read?

We can’t wait!

We’re looking forward to seeing those of you who have already booked. Thank you for your payments. Your places are reserved and we’ll soon be sending you a link to pay the final installment. Please do nothing more, for the moment.

For those of you who have NOT yet made their booking, there are a few places left.  Please do join us.
