Solo Writing vs. Team Writing
Item writers have two options:
- Write independently, OR
- Join an item writing group at their chapter. Click here to learn more about chapter opportunities.
For individual writers, Item Writing Sessions are conducted monthly. Writers receive an email at the beginning of each month focused on specific areas of the CIA exams, and they have 30 days from the time of the invitation to write and submit items related to the requested topics. Writers may choose whether or not to participate, depending on topics of interest and expertise. However, The IIA requests a commitment to submit a minimum of 15 items during the course of the year.
