Our varied lobbying and campaigning work encompasses everything from press campaigns to gain media coverage for issues of topical importance, to direct lobbying of government on vital matters of policy which directly affect writers.
Through our lobbying and campaigning work ALCS aims both to protect the existing secondary rights of UK writers and, in this digital era, secure recognition for their rights in new and developing areas of content provision, for example digital downloads.
In 2007, ALCS set up the All Party Writers Group.
