Publishing organizations

Find your people in publishing.

Browse associations, advocacy groups, education programs, professional communities, and member organizations for authors and the people who work with them. Being listed isn't a recommendation.

Author and publishing organizations: the name, what kind of organization it is, who it is for, where it reaches, what membership costs, and how well the listing is checked.

This is a list of sources, not a feed of articles. Nothing on this page changes by itself, and every listing sends you to the publication or the organization, whose own page is the current one. Headlines, where a publication publishes a feed of them, are on Publishing news today: their titles, their links, and nothing written by us.

Each listing says what the organization does for an author, in our own plain words until the organization confirms them, never a mission statement copied off their home page. We never publish a membership fee: what it costs is free, free and paid, paid, or not stated, and their own membership page carries the figure.

Basic listings are free and always will be. Being listed is not a recommendation, and nobody pays to appear.
