"Basically ALCS is a matter of justice, as most authors - and many other people - realise, but there is another dimension to it and I'd like to draw attention to that. It's thanks to ALCS that authors get a sense of people responding to their work outside the usual channels of conventional book sales. And in the vast world of writing, that's very exciting."
