Endorsed by 160 published writers, this report calls for, and provides advice on, better pay and recognition for the work of writers in Ireland. If you're a professional writer, or if you're in a position where you provide work for writers, please check this out.

Pay transparency for artists is key to creating an arts sector that is fair and equitable to all.

We have published our fee structure for artists on the Words Ireland website for many years.

Today, as part of the #SayWhatYouPay initiative launched by Match in the Dark, we are happy to display this information at the link below.
