Member Testimonials

"The Perseverance Fund helped me to continue to participate in this organization and pursue the writing craft that I love so much. You underestimate how much you get from an organization, the encouragement, sharing and the community to be had at the national and chapter levels, until it's under threat of being gone from you due to lack of funds. With disability, with no author events, thanks Covid, I just could not afford to keep my membership and yet this was something I really enjoyed very much. Thank you so much for your help this time around. It meant I could continue to gain knowledge and take advantage of the numerous resources RWA has to offer and still feel apart of a larger group of awesome folks and my writing-life community.

"In a year when I had lost more than I had thought possible, having this organization say 'We believe in you; stay with us, and keep going' made all the difference in the way I perceived my writing during the most difficult year of my life." - RWA Member
