The writing journey is solitary, yet it’s something one doesn’t have to walk alone.
I belong to the following organizations.
You want to learn the business of writing?
You want to be a better writer and storyteller?
Join these organizations.  They provide a wealth of resources and support.

Liberty States Fiction Writers
www.libertystatesfictionwriters.com
The perfect organization for me. 
The motto?
CREATE SOMETHING MAGICAL!

The Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators
www.scbwi.org
THE organization for scribes of Young Adult, Middle Grade and other fiction for younger folk. Amazing support network and resource treasure trove!

Romance Writers of America
www.rwanational.org
This organization is probably the best to learn about the publishing industry and the business of writing.  It doesn’t matter if you write romance or not.  If you want to be a polished pro, join!  Once you join RWA, there are many subchapters to join:  Young Adult, FF&P (Futuristic, Fantasy & Paranormal), KOD (Kiss of Death – the Mystery/Suspense Chapter) and many others!

Mystery Writers of America
www.mysterywriters.org
The premier organization for mystery and crime writers (their words – and I agree!). Great organization, again, to network and learn the craft of writing.
