Membership in The Heinlein Society 

Please click here to return to main membership page.

The Membership section of The Heinlein Society spreads the word of the formation of the Society by e-mail, by circulating flyers at science fiction conventions, by letters, and by posting announcements to newsgroups. In the very near future we will be sending membership kits to those of you who have joined. 

SPECIAL NOTE: Thanks to Mrs. Virginia Heinlein's kind permission, a special bonus was offered and mailed to charter members who joined in the year 2001.

- NEW HEINLEIN! -

We hope you'll forgive our calling it "New" since only a few have ever heard it. By special arrangement with the Estate of Robert A. Heinlein, charter members received a CD recording of the speech that started it all, a Limited Edition of "Discovery of the Future," Robert Heinlein's copyrighted Guest of Honor speech, given at the World Science Fiction conference, "Denvention," in July 1941. This version is the original; the only editing of it is sound editing to improve clarity of the original disk recordings by Walter J. Daugherty.

Due to continued demand we continue to offer this bonus, but only to those members who purchase a retroactive charter membership, i.e., to those who joined on or after January 1, 2002, retroactive to the year 2001. To be eligible for this, you must be currently a due-paid member.

Dues are payable on January 1 of each year. That means if you join today and wish to purchase a retroactive charter regular membership, you should send a payment of $35.00 for the current year as well as an additional payment of $35.00 for the retroactive charter membership.

Membership is in two classes, regular and supporting; for regular members the dues are $35 a year, and for supporting members, (non-voting members otherwise entitled to all privileges, available to any student of a bona fide academic or trade school, or to anyone over 65 on fixed income) $15 a year. We hope you will.
