Join ALCS
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
Don't forget to vote!
It’s election time at ALCS. There are two posts available on the ALCS Board of Directors – members have been sent details of how to vote.
ALCS is run by writers for writers, so please have your say. Voting helps to shape the future of the organisation as the Board makes decisions that impact all members.
This is your opportunity to have a voice in the leadership of ALCS, so make sure you have your say.
