Affinity groups focus on such editorial specialties as business communications, medicine, textbooks, young adult and children's books, and grammar. Groups to address other specialties may be initiated by members at any time according to their interests. Members enjoy reduced tuition to EFA's educational courses, designed especially for freelancers to build and enhance editorial and entrepreneurial skills. Members have access to reduced-rate legal and accounting advice. You owe it to yourself to be a part of the oldest and largest national professional organization dedicated to supporting your freelance career choices and opportunities.
Fees vary by membership category and are discounted for two-year memberships.
New members must pay a membership processing fee. Nonresident Members live outside the area and pay slightly lower annual dues, while still receiving all EFA services. They are welcome to attend any activity while in the New York metropolitan area and are encouraged to get together for social meetings with others in their areas. There are members in 40 of the United States, as well as Canada, the Czech Republic, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. EFA members are experienced in a variety of professional skills, subject areas, and media.
