Encouraging and Assisting Philatelic Communication

Membership is open to all philatelic writers, columnists, editors, publishers and anyone interested in philatelic communication.

Our Journal: The Writers Unit’s quarterly journal, The Philatelic Communicator , offers a wide spectrum of news and articles of interest and benefit to philatelic writers, columnists, editors and publishers.

Seminars are usually held in conjunction with the Great American Stamp Show.

Literature Competitions: The Writers Unit supports literature competitions in all national exhibitions. It sponsors the Literature Grand Award at the Great American Stamp Show each year.

A Membership Meeting is held on Sunday mornings in conjunction with the Great American Stamp Show.
