Join the National Writers Union
If you write for love, if you write for money, if you write for both, you need to be a member of the National Writers Union (ww.nwu.org) and our Boston Chapter (www.nwuboston.org). You can get advice on negotiating fair terms for your written work (free contract reviews). When a publisher or other employer doesn’t meet the agreed-on conditions, the NWU will back you up. We speak out on issues affecting writers from health care to copyright, to saving the U.S. Post Office that so many literary publications rely on. You’ll get two monthly newsletters (national and chapter, regular programs, social-networking opportunities (member directory, Writers’ Night Out) opportunities to promote your work (kudos, website, annual book party). Join us! — Barbara Beckwith, NWU-Boston co-chair
