The Writer's Guild Of Great Britain

 As this is a monthly activity, the intention was to write a blog post sooner, but very important business stepped in, hence the delay. However, I would like to introduce to any fellow writers reading this, a Guild which I recently joined that may come in useful.

The organisation I'm referring to is the Writer's Guild of Great Britain. It is a trade union that was formed to unite writers of films, TV shows, radio plays, books and so forth. This one was recommended to me by a mentor I know from Northampton. Of course this is early days and I've just started getting the hang of it. But it's been a good impression so far. I've even spotted well-known creatives on the website including Tony Robinson whose credits include as the actor of Baldrick in Blackadder and as a writer for a few children's history-based TV shows.

There are a few sources of membership you can sign up for and these include Full Membership, Candidate Membership, Student Membership and Affiliate Membership. I've signed as a Candidate and unless you're a student, this is the one I recommend. You could sign up as a Full Member, but the thing about that is; Full Membership is £198 for the year, whereas as a Candidate, it would cost £108 per year. Plus you wouldn't require as much experience to be a Candidate compared to being a Full Member.

I hope this has made sense. Writers, do feel free to have a look.
