Our membership includes writers of romance and women's fiction, mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, suspense and westerns. Novelists, Inc. offers its members a wide variety of services. Members often complain about our newsletter, lamenting that the moment they receive it they must stop everything they're doing, neglecting deadlines, family and friends, just so they can read the latest edition from cover to cover. In addition, members can subscribe to NincLink, an email loop teeming with opinions on everything from critical publishing issues to regional slang. NincLink is a wonderful way for our members to connect with colleagues and overcome the isolation of the writer's life.
Friendships grow stronger on the link-and sometimes blossom into something more.
Two of our members fell in love via NincLink and got married at our annual Novelists, Inc. conference in October, 2000. Speaking of which, our annual conference is one of the best member benefits we offer. This year, it will be held at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Philadelphia, September 6-9. Like all Novelists, Inc. conferences, it will feature programs dedicated solely to the needs of working, published authors. Inc. conferences always offer plenty of opportunity for socializing and schmoozing, networking and brainstorming.
