Author Royalties
ALCS
Did you know that you are also entitled to secondary royalties from collective licensing (such as photocopying in universities)? These royalties are collected and distributed by The Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS). ALCS is a non-profit making organisation that was set up in 1977 by writers for writers in order to secure fair compensation for works that are copied, broadcast or recorded. If you are not already a member please visit their website to find out more at www.alcs.co.uk
