New member dues for ARWA are $25 per year (when paid January through June). A prorated amount of $12.50 is available for those joining after July. Membership includes access to all general meetings, the use of our extensive library (including members’ novels as well as how-to books on the craft of writing), and our monthly online newsletter, The Austin Affair. Dues can be paid either at a meeting (check the Meetings page for dates) or mailed to the address listed on the membership application. If you mail your dues, please send a check or money order made out to ARWA only; no cash please.
