Member Web Pages PDF Print E-mail
The AWG Member Pages program is the easiest way to get a web presence. Writing may be your passion, but it's also a business. Writers need to market themselves, and the web is the easiest way to start. The AWG Member Pages program lets you promote yourself and your work online, 24/7.

What does it cost? The AWG Member Pages program is free for all AWG members. Your page will remain online as long as you remain an AWG member.

What should I write? The text on your member page can be very short, or up to 750 words in length. Typically, the content will be divided into sections like these:

* ABOUT (your bio and background)
* CREDITS (your published or produced works, such as books, articles, short stories, films, TV shows, plays, etc.)
* AWARDS (any honors bestowed on you or your work)
* READ (an excerpt of your work and/or a link to your work elsewhere online)
* CONTACT (email address and any other contact info such as a website, blog, agent info)

Divvy up your text any way you’d like. You can have all the sections or just two or three. It's your page. To see other member pages, click the appropriate links in the member roster.

When will my member page be online? Depending on the number of members in queue, it will take a little as a week and as long as a month for your page to be uploaded. You will have the chance to review your page before we link it to the member roster.

How often can I update my member page? Plan to update your page once a year. Don’t use relative dates like “last fall” or “next month.” Say "Fall 2008" or "December 2009." However, if your contact information changes, we’ll update it as soon as possible.

Do I have to have a photo? No. If you do not want a head shot, we'll use a generic photo. If you do want your photo on your page, we'll crop and size your photo for you. Or, if you prefer, provide a 140 pixel by 180 pixel .jpg file saved at 72 dpi.

Can I add extra photos and graphics or choose my own colors and fonts? No. We are using a single template for all member pages. The color palette and font selections will be standard throughout.

What if I want to have more than 750 words online? You may want to investigate other options such as the simple websites available through some ISPs (AOL, Earthlink and others).You can post longer works elsewhere and include a link on your AWG member page. Our program is a simple showcase for members.

How do I get started? It's easy! Email your content (as a .rtf or Word document) and photo (.jpg files, please) to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
