We read the contract, argue the rights, and hold the line on terms — so you can spend your hours on the book instead of the paperwork.
Join the guild What we doFour things, done properly, for every member.
Every member contract read line by line by a publishing attorney, with plain-language notes on what to push back on. No extra fee, no cap.
We litigate and lobby on reversion clauses, audio and translation rights, and the licensing of author work for machine training.
Quarterly intensives on royalty statements, tax structure for creative income, and negotiating without an agent.
Regional chapters, a members-only rate database, and a referral network of editors, cover designers and translators.
One flat annual rate. No commission on your earnings, ever.
For writers working toward a first contract.
For authors with at least one published title.
Paid once, honoured for the length of your career.
Open to members; guests welcome at regional events.
“They found a reversion clause my agent had waved through. Three books came back to me inside a year.”
“The royalty audit cost me nothing and turned up four years of under-reported ebook sales. That is the membership paid for, forever.”
Membership opens twice a year. The next intake closes 30 November.
