NEW! Join the RNA's Facebook Group!

With so many members of The Romantic Novelists’ Association frequenting Facebook the committee agreed it was time to have our own group where members could pop in for a chat, ask questions and hear the latest writing news.

Elaine Everest set up the group a week ago for Full, Associate and NWS members. With the assistance of fellow admin, Tracy Hartshorn (aka Sally Quilford) and Alison May we have got off to a flying start.

YOUR ADMIN:

RULES:

There are no rules! However, we do have a few group guidelines:

1. The group is open to anyone who is a member of the RNA: Full, NWS and Associate members.
2. It's not primarily a promo group, but it's fine to share big news. If you are not interested in a thread, just scroll on.
3. Please do not add friends to the group unless you have their permission and know they are RNA members. It creates more work for admin otherwise.
4. Before starting a new thread check the subject is not already being discussed. This can be done by scrolling down the page or using the search facility at the top right hand side of the page.
5. Admin for this group are Elaine Everest, Sally Quilford and Alison May. They reserve the right to remove posts that fall outside these guidelines.
6. And finally, most importantly, please be courteous to one another.

Why not pop along and join our new group? Please remember the group is for members of the Romantic Novelists' Association  but if you aren't yet an RNA member why not join us? Details here:

Thank you for setting this up, Elaine, and to your admin team. It would seem that in just one short week this group is proving to be hugely popular. Another asset to the wonderful organisation that is the Romantic Novelists' Association.

I am not even slightly surprised the FB Group is suddenly so popular.

There is no right or wrong, or Facebook or Romna - there is plenty of room for both and I think they will play to their different strengths.

Long may they both prosper!

Loving the FB page, so thanks for setting it up - so much easier to dip in and out of when on FB for other reasons!
