One of the best moves I've made in my writing career was to join an organization, a Christian organization, dedicated to improving my skills at writing, marketing, branding, platforming, etc. The benefits outweighed the cost of membership.
From online connections with other authors to Facebook groups where ideas and research can be shared, there are also the benefits of critique groups, mentors, and man other marketing opportunities. In all, the benefits are numerous.
