Join us at iawa.net The Italian American Writers Association was founded in 1991 to promote Italian American writing by encouraging its writing, reading, publication, distribution, translation, and study. Its members include writers, readers, editor

s, publishers, agents, translators, teachers, scholars, and indeed all who are interested in the progress of Italian American writing. To promote the production, publication, reception, and study of Italian American writing, IAWA has formulated three rules:

1. We can’t expect other people to read the books of Italian American writers if we don’t read them ourselves.

2.Write or be written. Italian Americans need to write their own realities, rather than waiting for others to do it for them.

3.Buy each others’ books. If we want publishers to publish Italian American books, we need to be sure that we can show them a market for those books.

4. Review each other ... we have added this to insure books have a longer shelf life, and sell.

IAWA member and IASA - Italian American Studies Association president Michele C. Deramo has a new substack out about transitioning from academic life--consider subscribing today!

After more than 35 years in higher education, I am retiring into my next (final?) chapter as an elder, an observer, a maker, a lingerer.
