In light of the recent fire disaster in Maui, we want to encourage members to share news of our Emergency Medical Fund (EMF) with other speculative fiction writers. The fund is intended to provide short-term assistance to writers who may be having difficulty paying for their medical expenses due to emergencies interfering with their ability to write, which is unfortunately a circumstance that many Maui-based writers are currently dealing with.
Genre writers do not need to be SFWA members to apply for relief from the EMF, but the money can only be used for medical expenses not covered by insurance. Co-pays are eligible for EMF funds. Questions about and requests for assistance can be directed to emf@sfwa.org.
