Welcome to GothRom!
Welcome to the Internet home of Gothic Romance Writers, Inc., Chapter #196 of Romance Writers of America. “GothRom” was conceived by a handful of writers who love the genre, spearheaded by our first president, Tracy Jones. Its quick growth verified that gothic romance is alive and lurking in the hearts of many people. Please take your time and look around our site–check out our members’ pages and our great links, and if you’re an RWA member who writes or is interested in gothic romance, please do consider joining our group.
Gothic romance novels, historical and contemporary, have been on the shelves for decades under many names… sometimes called “paranormal romance,” sometimes “romantic suspense,” but still the necessary elements of a true gothic romance–heroine in peril, isolated setting, hero of questionable motives–remained. For all of us who have loved gothic romance, and sought them out, no matter what was on the book’s spine, we have created this group. Enjoy.
GothRom Mission Statement
Gothic Romance Writers, Inc. (GothRom) was founded in March of 2002 to encourage authors of gothic romance through networking and discussion, and provide inspiration to those authors as they write and submit their work for publication, and provide a support network for those authors.
