Writers' associations are organizations that support and promote the interests of writers. They provide resources such as workshops, networking opportunities, and access to publishing information. Members often include authors, poets, and screenwriters, allowing them to connect and share experiences. These associations may also advocate for writers' rights and fair compensation in the publishing industry. They often host events like conferences and contests, helping writers gain visibility and improve their craft. Examples of such organizations include the Authors Guild and the Poets & Writers organization.
