The National Writers Union— Helping Freelance Writers Succeed.

As a labor union and advocacy organization, the NWU is devoted to helping freelance authors, journalists, and literary and business writers succeed. We’ll show you how to find work, advance your career, get paid what you're worth, and protect your rights.

The Twin Cities Chapter of the NWU is one of the most active in the nation. We offer networking opportunities, professional development programs, advising, plus the benefits of the national organization, like databases on agents and magazine rates and contract advice.
