The National Association of Writers’ Groups offers:
| GROUP OR ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP. Writers’ Groups can join as Group Members while individuals unable to join writers’ groups for any reason – geographical isolation or disability for example – may join as Associate Members. Affiliated groups may select two members to vote at annual general meetings. Associate membership has no voting rights but all other benefits. |
| FREE COMPETITIONS. Prestigious annual awards for excellence in creative writing. In the competitions for 2005, there were categories for short stories, poetry, novels, non-fiction and drama, as well as a special prize for the best group anthology. Categories change annually and are published in December. The closing date for the competitions is usually the end of April of each year. |
| “LINK” NEWS MAGAZINE. Your forum for news and views, published every other month. Three free copies are sent to each group, one copy to associate members. Extra copies are available to individuals. |
| FESTIVAL OF WRITING. An annual, major, residential three-day event, open to all with workshops led by high-profile tutors. |
| WEB-SITE. |
| LEGAL ADVICE. Dickinson Dees Solicitors are available to us to discuss any legal matters. |
| DIRECTORY OF WRITERS’ GROUPS. You can contact other member groups for joint activities, such as exchange visits, judging each others’ competitions, twinning, readings and social occasions. |
| PUBLISHING. As a way of widening our services, NAWG Publishing has been created as a publishing house. |
| NETWORKING. We work with other established literary bodies, gathering and sharing information useful to our members. |
| FELLOWSHIP. We hold out the hand of friendship to fellow writers, helping and encouraging each other to realise goals. |
| TYPESETTING. NAWG can offer a typesetting service for the production of your group’s anthologies, etc. |
