Southern Tier Authors of Romance welcomes writers who are interested in writing and marketing works of romance, the most popular genre on the market. We are a friendly and supportive group of writers who live in the Southern Tier of New York and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania and who provide encouragement and support for each other.
