Writers Helping Writers…
SFWA is, first and foremost, an organization for writers. That means sharing information and tips, no matter where you are in your writing journey! We learn from each other as we all grow in our writing journeys. If you’re looking for a place to start, SFWA writers have already shared a ton of tips, tricks, and how-to guides, linked below.
Stay Informed
Keep on top of SFWA news by subscribing to the New Release Newsletter, and keep on top of industry news about scams, exploitative companies, and bad-faith actors by following Writer Beware®. Our monthly Singularity newsletter for members is also joined with Advocacy Watch and Industry Alert notices from the Board, as applicable.
Learn New Skills
Our Information Center has a smorgasbord of offerings on everything from finding an agent, to working with a critique group, to keeping up your motivation and growing your career. The online magazine of SFWA, Planetside, has scores of articles that can teach you writing skills, industry practices, and more.
Explore New Paths
Looking to make a change in direction? You might find our annual Mentoring Initiative useful, and it’s open to people at any stage in their writing journey.
Or perhaps you’d like more information on independent publishing? We have a complete Indie 101 guide that walks you through the basics, and the team’s monthly meetups are now available on a YouTube playlist.
