APS Writer Unit #30

The American Philatelic Society's Writer Unit #30 reports membership is open to anyone interested in philatelic communication not just philatelic writers, columnists, editors and publishers.

Among the membership benefits are...

Seminars:  these are usually held in conjunction with the American Philatelic Society winter and summer shows.

Literature Competitions: The Writers Unit supports literature competitions in all national exhibitions. It sponsors the Literature Grand Award at the APS StampShow each year.

A Writers Breakfast: these are held on Sunday mornings in conjunction with the American Philatelic Society winter and summer shows. These breakfasts welcome everyone (not only WU #30 members), including families and friends.

In addition, members receive a quarterly newsletter.

According to the homepage on its newly redesigned website, "The Writers Unit’s quarterly journal, The Philatelic Communicator, offers a wide spectrum of news and articles of interest and benefit to philatelic writers, columnists, editors and publishers. Submissions for publication in this journal are always welcome from any source. The journal also provides information about worldwide philatelic literature competitions and lists the results of these events. Subscription to the journal is included in the membership dues."

Dues are $20 a year.
