Society of Authors

ALCS works closely with the Society of Authors in the Writers' Organisations Advisory Group which ensures opportunities for secondary licensing are considered and taken forward appropriately.

The Society of Authors has been serving the interests of professional writers for more than a century. Today it has more than 8,500 members writing in all areas of the profession.

Novelists to doctors, textbook writers to ghost writers, broadcasters to academics, illustrators to translators are eligible to join as soon as they have been offered a contract.

What's more, if you are an existing ALCS Member who would like to join the Society of Authors, then they will give you 15 months membership for the price of 12 in your first year upon application with your ALCS reference and the code ALCS09.
