How to Join FHL
The Faith, Hope & Love Chapter of RWA is an organization of Christian fiction writers who are actively pursuing a career in romance and/or women's fiction. Members must be members in good standing of RWA. FHL allows chapter membership to RWA associate members (publishing industry professionals who have a financial stake in a writer's career) who are also writers of Christian romance and/or women's fiction as stated above. Associate members may participate in the chapter loops as writers, not in any other capacity. Any other professional affiliation may be listed in a member's signature line.
Upon receipt of an application, including an RWA® membership number from our national organization and the required membership dues, an applicant shall be considered a member in good standing of FHL. At that time, if you are published in book length fiction, you are invited to submit a photo and short bio (no more then 3-4 lines lines with a 100-word maximum) to our webmaster. For a sense of style, please look at other bios on the FHL author page. Also, please do not mention future publications as this dates the page quickly. However, if you want to mention books that have won awards, etc., feel free to do so. Provide us with a JPEG photo and the link address to your web site.
For more information about membership benefits, see the Chapter Information page. If an applicant chooses to submit a membership application via the Internet (link provided below), his or her membership will not be activated until appropriate dues are paid (either on-line via PayPal or by check/money order).
