Authors' Matters by ALCS
Authors' Matters is a podcast by the Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) where we talk to writers from across the profession about how they earn their living, or at least try to. From copyright to contracts, we’ll also talk about issues that make the writing living easier or more difficult.

Episode 9
In the new episode of Authors' Matters, we talk to novelist and Royal Literary Fund (RLF) fellow Sanjida O’Connell about how the RLF has supported authors for over 200 years, and how it continues to provide those in need with hardship grants and pensions in the 21st century.
We also chat with Robert Taylor, Director of Writers Digital Payments (WDP), about how this not-for-profit organisation ensures TV and online writers receive fair remuneration for views on on-demand platforms like BBC iPlayer.
And we hear from Jessica Atkinson from the Communications team with news of the next ALCS distribution.
