They need to get a clue. Why do they seem so against epubs? Epubs help authors who can't reach the most coveting NYC publishing houses. I just don't get it. RWA is very set in their ways.

Unfortunately I think they tend to represent the Publisher interests and less the Writers interests. For the most part SFWA has done most of the hard work towards reaching out to ePublished Writers and it is online services that originated through their organization and their efforts that tend to be most informative. It is not like RWA is the only Writers organization out there and it is not that those other more professionally run and better prepared organizations do not constantly show them up.

However, it seems to me if an organization is not meeting the needs of it's people, a new organization could be created that does. I'll do a bit of research on the history of RWA, but if enough authors are displeased or being excluded, does it (RWA) lose it's value?

I ask as I’m just a reader, I have no practical experience in the industry; nor do I really know what it means to be part of RWA.
