Welcome to Writing Sessions America (WSA) for the 2025–26 membership year! As you join our collective, you are stepping into a community built on collaboration, teamwork, education, and a deep passion for independent excellence.
To become a member, everyone is required to purchase a conference ticket along with their membership. This is because we believe success is not about simply consuming information or attending activities—it’s about building and achieving together, both collectively and individually.
Writing Sessions America is more than a network; we are a collective community anchored in the pursuit of creativity, culture, and business growth. Our tagline for the year, “Old School Rules with New School Tools,” speaks to our guiding principle: manage your access, define your ownership, and recognize that your power is limitless. Here, you are encouraged to seek out information, connect with others, and build your own brand—while benefiting from the unity and strength of the WSA community.
We move as a co-operative, embracing a potluck mentality—everyone brings something to the table so that everyone can eat. There’s no such thing as “I can’t” or “I don’t have.” You have the power to achieve your goals and, by embracing a collective mindset, together we can accomplish even more.
You will encounter a diverse range of vetted industry professionals and creative peers, all committed to professionalism and growth. Every interaction should reflect respect and integrity. We expect you to maintain a high standard of professionalism in all communication, both within and outside our community.
We actively seek new members, partners, and sponsors. If you excel in outreach and acquisition, let us know to discuss extended benefits—including credits toward membership for bringing in new members, and referral rewards. Remember: “Nothing is free.” Cooperation, participation, and responsible administration help us build for ourselves and pave the way for others to succeed.
