About the New AIW Website

American Independent Writers is making big changes these days to better serve our membership. Perhaps the most noticeable at the moment is that we're transitioning to a new website with increased functionality, better access to resources, and an easily navigable design -- all in response to your great feedback.

The old AIW website will remain active through the end of the year as we import archived content to this new site. Once the transition is complete, the original URL will automatically direct readers to this site even if they type in the old address.

We'll immediately begin posting new content on this site, including news and event details. By the beginning of next year, all existing AIW online content will be on the new site, and we'll launch a members-only area to boot! (More details -- and log-in info -- to come.)

Oh, and that reminds us: You can now register for events, join AIW, and renew your AIW membership online with secure payment through PayPal.

AIW is changing to meet our members' needs, and your Board of Directors and staff are grateful for your input. If you'd like to volunteer or share your feedback over the coming months, please contact us at info@aiwriters.org. We'd love to have your assistance and your input.
