Join NAWE
NAWE is a membership organization. Our membership includes writers, teachers, students, academics, literature development workers, librarians, universities, colleges and arts organizations.
NAWE aims to put creativity at the heart of education. We believe that everyone should have contact with practising artists - and especially writers. We believe in the importance of the practice and teaching of creative writing.
By joining NAWE you can help us to promote these ideals.
We offer five kinds of membership:
- Professional Membership: £65 per annum
- Student/Associate Membership: £20 per annum
- Institutional Membership: from £195 per annum
- Overseas Membership: from £20 per annum
- E-Membership: £10 per annum
E-membership is the new means of subscribing to our Writer's Compass e-bulletin, now sent weekly with news of all jobs and opportunities for writers generally.
All individuals working as professional writers in education are encouraged to join at the Professional rate, which provides maximum benefits.
The Student/Associate Membership rate is offered to anyone interested in the work of our association who is not a professional writer. Student/Associate Members are not covered by the insurance scheme and are not able to apply through NAWE for CRB disclosures or other clearances.
Student/Associate Members and Overseas Members will not automatically be sent the printed magazine. There is a membership option to order the magazine to be sent three times a year. Alternatively you can order individual copies online.
See the Membership Benefits page for a full breakdown. You can also download our Membership leaflet, below.
If you would like to join NAWE, please use the online Membership Form, which enables you to pay online. You can alternatively request an invoice. Our preference is for payment by Standing Order but we also accept payment by cheque.
