BiographyHistory

'The Australian Society of Authors is the professional association for Australia's literary creators. The ASA was formed in 1963 to promote and protect the rights of Australia's authors and illustrators [...] The ASA was instrumental in setting up the Copyright Agency Limited and the Australian Copyright Agency, and successfully campaigned for Public Lending Right in 1975 and Educational Lending Right in 2000 [...] The ASA sets minimum rates for pay and conditions for authors and illustrators, and publishes books, papers and lists for emerging and established writers.'
