We're the Authors' Licensing & Collecting Society. Nobody else in the world does exactly what we do. We've been championing writers and making sure they get paid for secondary uses of their work since 1977

@carolwater.bsky.socialReposted by @alcs.co.ukThank you @ALCS. Just a little payment this time but it will buy me some printer ink/stationery. If you are a writer/journalist in the UK, it's well worth joining. 😊

@alcs.co.ukCreativity is inherently human. That's why it needs to be respected & protected.
We loved having poets Chris & Francesca on Authors' Matters to celebrate National Poetry Day & share their thoughts on what AI means for writers but also for the planet.

@diebooth.bsky.socialReposted by @alcs.co.ukLove you guys (truly) I make more from ALCS payments than I do from selling my books, and I appreciate them more than I can say 🖤 (It'll be going towards the bills because I'm broke, but it has certainly cheered me up!)
@alcs.co.ukBest of both worlds! Enjoy 😊
@wordaware.bsky.socialReposted by @alcs.co.ukSave it now to spend a little later is probably my approach. Thank you, as it is always a nice surprise
@mferguson-writer.bsky.socialReposted by @alcs.co.ukAs ever, thank you. Good wishes to all at ALCS: always a shining light, but more so in these days of take and take and take and other darknesses...
@rogerprotz.bsky.socialReposted by @alcs.co.ukA shout out for @alcs.co.uk (Authors' Licensing & Collecting Society), an entirely beneficial non-profit that collects secondary royalties for writers in the UK. Do sign up if you have books likely sold second-hand. I receive a twice yearly tidy sum.
@jowolff.bsky.socialReposted by @alcs.co.ukMy six monthly reminder for U.K. academic authors to make sure you’re signed up. Especially if your works are used as teaching materials.
@alcs.co.ukReading makes you more attractive, you heard it here first!
Catch the season premiere of Authors’ Matters with Sathnam Sanghera & Pan Macmillan CEO Joanna Prior as they discuss why people are stopping reading and what we can do about it.
