ALCS Day!!!
Reminder to all writers - join the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society and get two cheques per year.
ALCS: 'If you’ve ever written anything and had it published or broadcast, you can join. Our members include fiction and non-fiction writers, translators, adaptors, scriptwriters, magazine and journal article writers, editors in all genres.'
Just do it - it's worth it!
ALCS: Make sure you receive the money you’re entitled to as a writer when someone copies or uses your work. We collect money from all over the world, then pay it to our members. So far we’ve paid a total of £700 million.
More info: 'We’re mainly a UK organisation. You’re welcome to join if you live overseas, but it might be more convenient for you to join your local collecting society. We have reciprocal agreements with over 55 collecting societies around the world...'
Being a writer sucks financially for most of us, but I have never once regretted joining the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) and I love getting the email and the cheques even when they are small.
I had to be badgered to join so if you are a writer and haven't joined yet - consider yourself badgered!
@wigbert It's good to have these societies on our side!
