If you live in the Kansas City, Missouri area and have ever considered writing a Romance novel (or any genre fiction novel), you’ve found the right place!

HeRA is a group of talented men and women who all share a love for writing. We offer each other support and encouragement, as well as great opportunities to meet industry professionals and learn more about the craft of writing. If that matches your interests, you’re just the type of person we’re looking for to help us make our group even better.

Want to see what we’re all about? We’d love to have you visit one of our meetings! HeRA meets at noon on the second Saturday of every month:

Longview Community College
Liberal Arts Building, Room 107
500 SW Longview Road, Lee's Summit, MO 64081
Meeting Time: 12:00pm

We have a variety of events for you to choose from, but at every meeting you’ll find a warm welcome and many smiling faces. We love visitors, so please feel free to come by and see what we’re all about. But do drop us a note and give us a heads up, so we can be sure to include you for any additional handouts or program requirements.
