The Association of Authors' Representatives is a not-for-profit membership organization. We are active in all areas of the publishing, theater, motion picture and television industries and related fields.

Volunteers make the AAR work; our office is simply a point of connection. If you wish to talk with someone in AAR about a particular issue and are a member, you might go to the Committee page and figure out who would be of most help.

AAR is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization. We do not maintain a large office staff or high-profile public presence. If you are not a member, please address your questions or concerns to the Board President. Our administrator is Jody Klein. She may be reached by email at administrator@aaronline.org. Her phone number, should you need it, is 212 840.5770.
