SFWA Active and Associate Membership Will Be Available to Indies
03 February 2015
SFWA, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, has just changed their membership rules. There will be some speedbumps, as this is a major structural change.
Effective March 1, both indie and small press authors will be eligible for SFWA’s Active and Associate memberships.
For Active (full) membership:
- One novel-length work for which the author’s earned at least $3,000; or
- At least 10,000 words of shorter work for which the author’s earned at least 6 cents/word.
For Associate membership:
- At least 1,000 words of shorter fiction for which the author’s earned at least 6 cents/word.
And then there are those of us bound to break the system because we’re already associates, but before the 6 cents a word went into effect.
Not Just for Gearheads
SF/F is a bigger tent than you might think. If you write a number of romance genres (e.g., paranormal romance), you’re also arguably writing SF/F.
I look forward to our Amish science fiction writer members.
