Sunshine State Romance Authors was founded in 2012 with three published authors. Now, we have over seventeen traditionally and Indie published authors combined. Even though becoming published is not promised through membership, and I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again; I would not be multi-published today if it weren’t for what I learned from these amazing men and women. I wanted to give back for what I learned, so I excitedly volunteered to be President for 2018-2020, and was voted in. SSRA is an organization dedicated to the education of writers who want to become published. Follow us on Facebook at Sunshine State Romance Authors. Also http://www.sunshinestateromanceauthors.com. Please note, our website is in the midst of renovation. Thank you for understanding.
