Member Benefits and Publications
IAWE members are entitled to express themselves in our quarterly newsletter, aChord. We plan to feature each member’s books on a page of this website. The editors of our literary magazine, arc, are chosen from among the membership. Traditionally members, particularly those with new books, are also featured at public readings, although public readings, formal and informal discussion meetings, meetings hosting visiting writers, and more ambitious projects have all been limited in recent years by budgetary considerations that we hope will prove temporary. Members of the IAWE are also entitled to submit future books for publication under the IAWE imprint, although the IAWE cannot at the moment offer financial or logistical assistance in publishing.

Joining the IAWE
If you would like to become a member, please write to iawe_mailbox@yahoo.com and include the following information:
- Name, postal address, phone number, and email address.
- Samples of your creative writing in English — for example, several poems, one or two stories, one or two creative essays, part of a novel, blog entries, or part of a play. If some creative writing of yours is on line, links are sufficient.
- Information about where you’ve been published: journals, websites, hardcopy publishers, etc. You may also want to mention readings and performances if any. Your credentials should include a published book of your own creative writing, or the equivalent in smaller published items, preferably including international publication.
- Any other information to round out the picture, such as a little biographical information, including education or employment if it has relevance, memberships in other organizations, honors you’ve received, etc.
The admissions committee consists of volunteers, and sometimes deliberations are lengthy. If your application is accepted, you will be asked for dues (as of this writing, 150 shekels) and for your Israeli identity number (which is compulsory because we are a registered non-profit amouta).
