All-Russian public organization "Union of Writers of Russia" unites creative people who write literary works. The union was created with the aim of uniting literary men across the country, so that writers can share their experiences and help newcomers.
General Provisions
A citizen of the Russian Federation who has reached the age of 18, who is a writer: poet, prose writer, critic, playwright, translator, and so on, can become a member of the Writers' Union. Foreign citizens who do not have Russian citizenship can also join the Writers' Union of Russia if they conduct their literary activities in one of the languages of the peoples of Russia. In order to get into this organization, it is not at all necessary to live on the territory of Russia. The main condition is to conduct literary activity in one of the languages of the peoples of Russia.
Anyone wishing to join the Writers' Union must submit an application, which will be considered by the selection committee. It is she who decides whether this or that candidate is suitable for this organization.
Where to begin
First, you should find a collection in which you can print your works. Now there are many of them, but keep in mind that the publication of your work in the collection is, for the most part, paid. Apply for publication in this collection several times. Try to prove yourself there on a good side, attend book presentations, meet and communicate with different people there. It will be just great if you can get some kind of nomination in this collection during this time.
Now is the time to publish your first book. This also costs a lot of money, but you will have your own book. Find an editor or an experienced writer to help you. Surely, among those people with whom you met at the presentation of books, there are those. After the book is published, talk to your editor, ask if he can write a recommendation to the Writers' Union.
Come to the organization and ask them the conditions of admission - they may change. The main thing that you should have is: the experience of publishing in collections, your own book, a familiar person in the field of literature, ready to recommend you to them. If you did not succeed in entering the Writers' Union the first time, do not despair, try again, in the end, you will definitely succeed!
Joining the Writers' Union of Russia gives you the opportunity to nominate yourself for various nominations, receive awards, participate in numerous competitions, lead an active literary life for the sake of the flourishing of the culture of the Russian Federation.
