Where Writers Find Their People
Writers' United
America's foremost writers' association, we advocate free expression and copyright protection. We empower writers by enhancing their skills with resources like workshops and mentorship, facilitating connections with agents and publishers, and offering financial support and awards. Our community provides a nurturing environment for sharing work and sparking creativity
We provide a space where writers can share their work, receive critique from their peers, and participate in writing exercises and prompts. We also offer workshops or seminars on various aspects of writing, such as character development, plot structure, or writing for different genres.
We also provide opportunities for writers to connect with publishers, agents, and other industry professionals. We organize events like book readings, open mic nights, and writing contests to help members gain exposure and recognition for their work.
Joining W.U can be a great way to improve your writing skills, meet other writers, and gain support and encouragement as you work on your writing projects.
Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned writer. We can help you reach your goals.
1.Accessibility
We applies its accessibility policy to all organization activities, and calls for the same principles to be broadly adopted across the writing and publishing sector.
2.Basic Income Guarantee
We advocates for a Basic Income Guarantee that would help to stabilize authors’ earning patterns and provide the stability necessary to continue creating.
3.Copyright
We advocates for strong and fair copyright legislation in U.S and around the world in order to ensure writers maintain control of their work and are paid fairly for its use.
4.Piracy
We advocates for stronger laws and regulations to discourage and punish acts of illegal copying and sharing of created works.
5.Royalty Rights
We advises authors to carefully examine the royalty percentages section of their publishing contract, and to negotiate a higher discount amount as a trigger for any royalty reduction.
6.Equity & Inclusion
All of W.U activities are informed by equity principles, and calls for the same principles to be broadly adopted across the writing and publishing sector.

7.Fair Contracts
W.U advocates for contract terms that fairly reflect the labour behind authors’ works, the ownership of their copyright, and changing practical realities within the publishing industry.
