Give the Gift of a TAA Membership for only $15

Looking for the perfect gift for the academic or textbook author? Give a TAA Gift Membership!

Providing a gift membership to a family member, friend, student or colleague is a great way to assist them with their writing and show your support for TAA's mission.

When you give the gift of a membership in TAA, the recipient becomes a part of the only nonprofit membership association dedicated solely to assisting textbook and academic authors.

Your recipients will receive all the benefits of a TAA membership, including TAA's monthly print newsletter, The Academic Author, which contains news and information about the textbook and academic authoring industry, how-to information, member and author profiles, and association news; and TAA News Alerts, bi-monthly email messages that keep you up-to-date on association and industry news in between issues of The Academic Author.

They will also have access to:

• The Members-only Section of the TAA website, which contains the full text of articles featured on the TAA home page; special documents such as a model textbook contract, TAA position statements, and surveys; an online mentoring directory; and archives of The Academic Author (dating back to the association's founding in 1987) and TAA News Alerts.
  
  
• TAA Teleconferences and teleconference recordings. New teleconferences are offered each Spring and Fall.
  
  
• Free mentoring through TAA's Mentor-A-Member Program. TAA's members-only online mentoring directory allows members to match themselves with veteran academic and textbook authors.
  
  
• Legal Assistance. TAA members receive a free legal consultation, referrals to attorneys with experience in publishing, and discounts on legal fees.
  
  
• Discounted Editing Services. TAA members receive discounts of up to 20 percent off editing services from select editors.
  
  
• TAA Listservs. Questions about authoring or publishing posted on TAA's members-only listservs, TAA Textbook Authoring and TAA Academic Authoring, typically generate several helpful responses within a few days.
  

TAA members are also eligible for grants of up to $750 to subsidize the cost of publishing scholarly journal articles or books, e.g., the preparation of art-work, having the article formatted to the journal's style, the preparation of photographic images, and straightforward publication costs.

Most importantly, your recipient will have the ability to network with TAA's more than 1,600 textbook and academic authors.
