Use this form if you have never been a member of IWOC. If you have ever belonged, you do not have to pay the initiation fee, so you need to use the "Renewing Member" form. Contact the webmaster (webmaster@iwoc.org) to get directions for accessing that form.

This online form uses PayPal as a payment method. You do not need to have a PayPal account. PayPal totals your fees and automatically generates your online listing for you. It's much less work and more accurate than using paper forms; however, you may still download the paper forms, fill them out, and send them along with a check to the IWOC office if you prefer. Click HERE to use the paper forms instead.

Be sure to choose the appropriate membership type:

  • Professional members get all benefits, including listings in print and online directories.
  • Senior members get same benefits as professionals but must be aged 62 or older.
  • Associate members get only contact information in print directory and no online directory listing. They do get all other website benefits, including access to the Writers' Line (most appropriate for people who are not now writers but would like to be).
  • Affiliate members are not writers. They are people who provide services to writers, such as printers. They get contact information listings in the print directory.

Fill out contact information and then select the categories under which you wish to be listed. Your first five categories are free. After that, each category costs $10. You may check as many as you like. Join a committee and you get to add another three free categories after you get your first committee assignment.

In the "Your Professional Profile" box, write a description of your work. Do not exceed 35 words. (Check current members' profiles if you're unclear on the concept.)

Also, don't forget to choose one or more IWOC committees that interest you. IWOC is a volunteer organization. It gives you a lot, and you need to give something back. When you are finished, you will have an opportunity to review the cart and add/remove categories before proceeding to the checkout. Click on the "Join IWOC" button to proceed to checkout.
