DARN IT is a group of ... well, as the name implies ... dedicated aspiring romance novelists in training.

We're a support group when - "Darn it!" - one of us receives a rejection letter and a cheering squad when a member succeeds.

We're a group of friends from all walks of life and all over the continent... united to inspire, encourage, and educate each other in our individual efforts to bring love stories to life.

Brandi Broughton and Tanner Holmes co-founded DARN IT in January 2004.

No. DARN IT is not affiliated with the Romance Writers of America; however, many of DARN IT's authors are regular &/or Pro RWA members as well as affiliated with some of its chapters.

We do not write as a hobby, but are dedicated novelists. If you are a writer committed to becoming a published author and are interested in joining DARN IT, contact Brandi Broughton or Tanner Holmes.

The DARN IT group has a limited membership. We keep the group small to ensure vitality within the group, a closeness among all members, and active participation.

Brandi Broughton is the Web Designer. Some of her other sites include:

For the DARN IT site, however, some of the graphics are modified from a template originally obtained from Web Design Studio.
