National Writers Union

The National Writers Union is more than just another writers’ organization. It is the only labor union that represents freelance writers working in all genres, formats, and mediums. As freelancers, we may value our autonomy, but we are united by the fact that we work independently. We face the same challenges, file the same income tax forms, and often suffer the same frustrations. Whether you’re a journalist, a book author, a technical or business writer, a screenwriter or a blogger – whether you write poetry or proposals – the NWU is already working to improve your professional life. By joining the NWU, you can directly benefit from the many valuable services the Union offers its members – including grievance assistance, contract advice and much more – and actively contribute to a growing movement of professional freelancers who have banded together to assert their collective power. #StrongerTogether
