Though the inquiries that have we have been receiving indicate that this response was successfully posted several days ago, I'm happy to do so again -- with apologies to any subscribers inconvenienced by this duplication.  

The National Writers Union has not published a book, but we do have a set of valuable resource materials available both to members and to our Supporters Circle, a new associate membership category that is open to individuals or organizations who are not writers but wish to support and encourage our work. These resources include:

• The NWU Preferred Literary Agent Agreement
• Understanding the Agent-Author Relationship
• NWU Guide to Book Contracts
• NWU Statement of Principles on Electronic Books
• Senate Testimony in Support of the Copyright Reform Act
• Testimony Before the National Information Infrastructure Working Group
• Electronic Publishing Issues: A Working Paper
• Books in Chains: Chain Bookstores and Marketplace Censorship
• Electronic Rights Guidelines for Journalists
• NWU Guide to Fair Use
• New Technology and Case Law: A Review of Decisions Since the Turn of the Century
• Standard Journalism Contract and Handbook
• Guide to Small Claims Court
• Using the Internet: A Quick Guide for Writers

For further information about the NWU and a Supporters Circle registration form, write to National Writers Union, 873 Broadway, Suite 203, New York, NY 10003, or send an e-mail message to me at the address below.
