About Us

The Association of Rhode Island Authors (ARIA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization of local, published writers of both fiction and non-fiction committed to raising awareness of the outstanding written works crafted by writers in Rhode Island and other nearby communities.

In addition, ARIA hopes to become the definitive referral center for all local bookstores, libraries and readers seeking information about and presentations from Rhode Island authors. ARIA authors are available for speaking engagements, book signings, lectures, workshops and other activities that promote local writers and writing.

Membership in ARIA is open to any local author who may be traditionally published, self-published or indie-published in any paper or electronic format. To join the organization and be included in its membership activities, contact author@riauthors.org
