Partnerships and payments creators must know about
SCBWI Australia West is proud to be recognised as a partner organisation of the Australian Society of Authors (ASA).

One of the great achievements of the ASA was the successful campaign for Public Lending Rights and Educational Lending Rights which provides payments to creators for works in libraries, as well as the foundation of the Copyright Agency, which has created an additional income stream for many writers.
