I have been a member for a number of years of the Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP), which is sponsored by George Mason University. Its mission, as stated by David Fenza, Executive Director, on the web site, is “to foster literary talent and achievement, to advance the art of writing as essential to a good education, and to serve the makers, teachers, students, and readers of contemporary writing.”
If you are a writer by trade or are serious about becoming one, I recommend joining this organization. The membership fee is reasonable, you will receive their magazine, the Writer’s Chronicle, and are eligible to compete in their contests, as well as a number of other benefits. In addition, you get access to their database and job list. See http://www.awpwriter.org/ for more information. If you are interested in going back to school for a degree in a writing program, see http://guide.awpwriter.org/ for AWP’s free, web-based guide to graduate and undergraduate programs across the country, as well as around the world.
