Membership is free and open to published and non-published writers .
Published writers are admitted automatically. Unpublished writers may submit a very brief writing sample. Membership includes access to our private web site, a group of private discussion lists corresponding to areas of special interests, and our online writer's workshop . We exchange ideas, review and critique each other's works, and support each other in an atmosphere conducive to the writer's life. Most of the members have written short stories, screenplays, or novels for many years, yet we welcome new writers who possess talent, determination, and a good command of the basic writing skills.
