THE NWU NEEDS YOU TO    

     SUBMIT  YOUR AUTHORS        

         COALITION SURVEY!

 
Please take five minutes today to help the National Writers Union receive sorely needed funding. 
 
All you need to do is fill out the attached Authors Coalition form and make sure it reaches the National office before the February 19th deadline.
 
Here’s how it works: The Authors Coalition collects hundreds of thousands of dollars in Europe for photocopies of U.S. authors’ works and then distributes the money proportionally to writers’ groups in the U.S. For many years, funds from the Authors Coalition have been the NWU’s biggest source of income beyond member dues.
 
Here’s where you come in: More than 60 percent of NWU members must submit forms in order for the NWU to receive that money, which is urgently needed. And every additional form over that means additional money in our budget. It’s the end of January, and we must meet -- or hopefully exceed -- that goal.
 
We will succeed --  if you take action today.

Here’s all you have to do: Download the attached form, print it out, and then fill it out (be sure to sign it) even if you did not publish anything in 2009, or even if you had filed a form in a previous year, or even if you have never published. If you have any trouble accessing the attached form, you can download it from the union's web site (www.nwu.org) using Tools and Resources on the Members Only page. 

The National office needs to receive completed forms with appropriate signatures by February 19th to be able to process and submit them. 

Mail yours to NWU, 256 West 38th Street, Suite 703, New York, NY 10018. Or fax the form to 212-254-0673. Or scan the filled-out form and email it to First Vice President Ann Hoffman at annfromdc@aol.com.

 

Thanks for helping to fund your union. Your participation will allow the NWU to pursue new campaigns in defense of writers’ rights in 2010.
