We are the trade union for writers in TV, film, theatre, audio, books, poetry, comedy, animation and videogames

“We writers tend to be rather solitary people, and it can be easy to rip us off. It makes sense that we have a unified voice and agreements that can protect our interests, particularly at this time of dizzyingly complex new technologies.”

"I belong to the Writers’ Guild because it is important that new young writers have a voice that represents them and looks after their interests. Given my years of age and experience combined with a first class agent, my concerns are looked after – not so those writers who are entering the profession. Hence my membership and support of the Writers’ Guild. We cannot afford to lose it."

"I believe in the union movement and the power of a collective voice to shout loudly for the good of all."

"I’m proud to be a member of the Writers’ Guild, I consider it the greatest of clubs. One that seeks to represent not just one but all, and to further our interests as a collective."

"I’m a member because I’m glad the Writers’ Guild exists, and its existence should be celebrated. The Guild continues to do hugely important work for all of us, and as a freelance worker, it’s very empowering to know you’ve got such a strong organisation behind you."
