Sign-up for Membership

Please note - due to the fact that there has been an influx of new members over the past few months the group has decided to suspend new membership until 2011. We regret having to do this but unfortunately our facilities just can not cope with any further increase in membership.

Keep an eye on this website - we will post a notice when we are again accepting new members.

If you need a qualified and experienced editor to work with you on your manuscript our recommendations are: Beverley Asmus or Dawn Johnson. Feel free to contact either of these people to discuss any help you may need in preparing your manuscript for publication.
