First of all, NY Times had an advertisement on their website just now featuring a photo of shingles.  I know I'm a bit squeamish, but ick!  I'm therefore not reading the NY Times today

Professional trade organizations can be great if they're seriously run (I've gotten a lot from the Society of Composers and Lyricists) but they can also be token efforts meant to wheedle dollars from casual hobbyists. Probably the best way to approach these things is word-of-mouth referral from other writers, preferably published ones.

Yes, well, the recommendation at WisCon was from a published author, but, I don't know. Live and learn!
