We believe writers should be paid wherever their works are used. We make sure you receive the money you’re owed when someone copies or uses your work.
We collect money from around the world, then pay it to our members twice a year. Since 1977, we’ve paid our members more than £700 million.
We represent all types of writers, including novelists, scriptwriters, academics and journalists. If you’re a writer, you may be owed money.
We enrich writers' lives
