This directory is being built as members give us information about other author organizations.

We will do our best to build a comprehensive list and to keep the list up-to-date.

But because there are so many of author organizations, literally hundreds, and because some are short-lived, you may find some information is dated.

Please help us keep the list current. Email TAA
