RIRW believes that in order to succeed, writers must actively pursue their craft. The following requirements must be met to maintain membership in the group:
• Within one year of joining, individuals must show evidence of having written a proposal, consisting of a synopsis and the first 50 pages of a book manuscript.
• Within two years, individuals must show evidence of having completed a book manuscript (at least 50,000 words, 200 pages double-spaced)
Note: If already published, new members simply need to provide a link to their published book(s).
