RNA Awards

For fifty years, the Romantic Novelists’ Association has recognised and awarded the very best in romantic fiction. The Romantic Novel of the Year Award has always been hotly contested, attracting prominent names and the best romantic books. The Love Story of the Year Award celebrates shorter romantic fiction.

To mark the 50th Anniversary Celebrations in 2010, the RNA has opened up new opportunities to recognise the best romantic writing as part of the Pure Passion Awards. The awards now include The Romantic Comedy of the Year and the Historical/Period Novel of the Year, The People’s Choice Award and the RNA Romantic Film of the Year.

Each year, the RNA celebrates the best writing from among its own members with awards for both published and unpublished work. These awards are the the Joan Hessayon New Writers’ Scheme Award, the Katie Fforde Bursary and the Elizabeth Goudge Trophy.

The RNA is proud to be associated with the Harry Bowling Prize for New Writers.
