 SHOW YOUR PRIDE with FWA logo-ware. FWA's latest fashion statement has "I love the smell of ink in the morning" written on the front, along with the FWA's name and slogan: "Writers Helping Writers." The shirt wording is the result of a contest won by FWA member, A.J. Robinson.
Julie Compton models our logo T-shirt in the photo and R.J. Ellory sports our "Careful... you could end up in my novel" shirt in this video. Get yours (or a warm, fleecey sweatshirt) in our online store. THE NEW MEMBER ID NUMBER on your membership card is important, so put it in a safe place. You'll need it when you send a submisson for RPLA and FWA Collection.
