I’m a member of the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers (IAMTW), an organization founded by Lee Goldberg and Max Allan Collins for writers of movie, television, comic book, RPG and videogame adaptations and novelizations. You’re invited to check out the IAMTW website, where you’ll doubtless recognize the names of many of our members.

man, that's a cool logo!
i tried joining a sort of artists guild once, but it was so poorly run i gave up on it. artists are a cowardly, superstitious lot, and don't band together well.
IAMTW is composed of brave and stouthearted authors who work very well together. There's also an email list component of the group with lots of support and general chatter about tie-ins and writing in general. We also have lapel pins!
