A previous thread got one of the P.P. readers thinking about the Northwest Outdoor Writers Association. After we exchanged a few e-mails he decided to join. So I thought I would post this for any of you who are outdoor writers and don not belong or for any of you who want to be outdoor writers.

For many years NOWA has required that members be established writers. But we recently added a new membership category for apprentice members. The only requirement is that you are serious about becoming an outdoor writer.

It is the world best job wit the world's worst pay. But if you have the passion it is a very rewarding job.

The benefits of belonging to NOWA are tremendous. We provide mentoring, association with 165 of the top writers in the Northwest and lots of help finding markets and learning to become a better photographer and or writer.

Here is a link to our web site.

Shoot me e-mail if you are interested.

We also have a membership category for industry related companies that want to be able to provide our membership with information on their products and services.
