National Association of Independent Writers and Editors (NAIWE)

NAIWE is a professional association for writers, editors, and you-- if you work with words. We exist to help members succeed, and our unique focus on creating multiple streams of writing income can make it happen. We are open to members in any country. We believe in writers who cross borders, blur boundaries, and do what it takes to earn a living as a writer. We'll cheer you on when your first novel hits the shelves, or the first printing of your business book sells out. We'll support you as you add new skills to your repertoire and learn to make a great living doing what you do best. We believe in editors who love the rhythm and cadence of the language, and are committed to polishing even the humblest prose to its highest luster. At NAIWE, we know that a writing or editing career isn't all about the art. It's not all about the money, either. Writing and editing is about the joy of creativity, the freedom of working independently, and the fulfillment that comes from creating an authentic, abundant life, earning a great living doing what you love to do. We believe that taking the road less traveled is often the best way to go.
