REAL MEMBERS ACHIEVING MEANINGFUL RESULTS

“Joining the NFAA has been one of the best professional investments I’ve ever made. I’ve yet to attend a conference, take a course or review one of Stephanie’s email updates and NOT comment to myself, ‘That just paid for my membership!’ The Association runs like a well-oiled machine, member support has always been quick to respond to questions and the wealth of information and resources available to members is staggering. But perhaps the best value is amount of support and encouragement that permeates every course, conference or online program. There’s no doubt in my mind that being a member of NFAA contributed greatly to my success as a first-time author!”

Cynthia Waine Brandt, author of Song of the Cardinal - A True Story of Miracles and Magic After Heartbreaking Loss

“I just wanted to tell you how much I value all that you are doing with NFAA. It is one of the best investments in a membership I have ever made. Being a first-time author was daunting enough. I didn’t realize how much time and effort it takes to promote a self-published book. NFAA has given me the tools for structuring that process. I would recommend NFAA to both the novice and seasoned author.

David Petrovay, PhD, author of Life Between Jobs: Out of Work…Not Out of WORTH

Nonfiction authors can feel isolated and alone in the writing journey, but membership in the Nonfiction Authors Association changed all that for me. Not only did I find a community of generous and smart writers and professionals, but I had access to resources and information that would have taken me years to find on my own. Stephanie and her staff are responsive, and they do everything they can to shine a spotlight on their members and students. This membership was, for me, not another expense, but an investment in myself and my writing success.”

Elizabeth H. Cottrell, author of HEARTSPOKEN: How to Write Notes that Connect, Comfort, Encourage, and Inspire

Joining the NFAA has been one of the important steps in my professional journey. As a new writer, it’s easy to feel isolated, but being part of a community where others normalize the creative process has lessened my anxiety. I’ve read articles by fellow authors who generously shared their experiences, and that support has made a difference in helping me stay inspired and moving forward. I gained the skills and confidence to self-publish and effectively promote my work. This has helped me position myself as an expert, and my book has reached a global audience — even setting a new standard in my professional field. This community has not only empowered me as an author but also helped amplify the impact of my work.”
