American Independent Writers (AIW) is a national organization for writers and wannabe writers of all persuasions.
AIW members write and edit fiction and non-fiction, short stories, poetry, and screenplays. Some specialize in magazine or newspaper writing, while others write through contracts with corporations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
Originally founded in 1975 as Washington Independent Writers, AIW went national in 2008. We provide a variety of member services, including a newsletter, monthly programming, a killer annual conference, and a Job Bank. AIW also conducts professional and social forums for the exchange of information and ideas, plays an active role in issues that affect the independent writing profession, and strives to correct unfair practices in the field.
Join AIW with easy, secure online registration.
AIW’s mission is to:
- Create an open and inclusive community of authors, journalists, and other writers;
- Inform, educate, and supports its members in the business and craft of writing and help them succeed in a rapidly changing environment; and
- Advocate for writers on key local and national issues.
