2) Associate membership is given to writers who have not been published, or who are just beginning to publish. They do not have a vote at National Council and are limited in the elected positions for which they can run.
Student membership is also available at a reduced rate for full-time students. These members do not have a vote at National Council.
Professional and associate membership fees are $157.50 per year. Full-time students pay a student rate of only $50.
