Renew your ASA membership: support us so we can support you

It’s that time of year – ASA memberships are due to renew on 30 June!

Whatever stage you’re at, the ASA is here to help you realise big ideas. Whether you need expert, personalised advice, legal support, one-on-one opportunities with publishers and agents, or discounted access to a professional development program, mentorship and resources designed to help you build a sustainable career, we can assist. Your support also enables us to advocate for writers and illustrators at industry and government levels on issues such as artificial intelligence, fair pay, fair contracts, and robust copyright protections. Nothing we do is possible without you.

Plus, all renewing members can enter the draw for one of our many literary prizes! See the details and entry instructions below.
