We’re excited to announce the 2025 Romance Writers of New Zealand conference, 15-17 August, 2025. 

We’d like to invite you to attend ‘Heart of a Story’ where passion meets the page– our 2025 conference.

Every great story begins with a heartbeat—the pulse of an idea, the rhythm of emotions, and the soul of a storyteller who dares to bring words to life. At the RWNZ 2025 conference, we celebrate the Heart of a Story, exploring the raw passion, deep connections and powerful themes that make stories unforgettable.

We have a line-up of USA Today Best Selling authors, award-winning novelists and writing coaches to teach you over the weekend.

Whether you’re crafting your first novel, refining your craft, or seeking inspiration, this conference is where storytellers gather to uncover what truly moves readers. Through dynamic workshops, insightful panels, and networking opportunities with your tribe, you’ll dive into the core elements that breathe life into storytelling—characters that resonate, conflicts that ignite, and narratives that linger long after the final page.

Join us as we uncover the heart of every story—the part that beats, that matters, and that stays with readers forever.

Registration opens March, 2025. If you want to take advantage of our member rates, please feel free to join RWNZ – we have many other member benefits, including contests, chapter meetings, a monthly newsletter, and a friendly support network.
