It’s nearly painless to become a Northwest Science Writers Association member and enjoy our members-only e-list, science-communication events and more!

Jump to How to Pay

Here’s what you’ll be getting for your $20 annual NSWA dues:

Free or discounted admission to an expanding calendar of events: If you’re not a member, you’ll pay the full admission fee for public events. Some events will be exclusively for NSWA members and their guests.
NSWA’s members-only mailing list: a membership forum for trading information about upcoming science events as well as job openings, freelance gigs and tips to sharpen your skills.
NSWA Member Directory: Paid members may choose to be listed in the NSWA directory for use by fellow members and other folks who might be in the market for a few good writers.
Members-only discounts for magazine subscriptions and other science-related stuff to come.
In the longer term, we’re also considering other ways to further the state of science communication in the Northwest, such as academic or professional scholarships.
Perhaps most importantly, you’ll have a say in how NSWA operates, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know your colleagues a whole lot better.
