Authors Registry

The Authors Registry was created in the US as a not-for-profit corporation in 1995 by a consortium of organizations including: The Authors Guild, The American Society of Journalists & Authors, the Dramatists Guild, and the Association of Authors' Representatives.

It helps expedite the flow of royalty payments and small re-use fees to authors, particularly for new-media uses.

Writers may be traced through an extensive directory of authors maintained by the Registry.

The directory is searchable only by email inquiry.Search results are emailed to the enquirer within 24 hours, according to the website.

The Registry is not intended as a payment service for ordinary royalties and fees. Its Rights Payment System collects money from publishers and other organizations, and distributes it to authors whose works are being used. The Registry distributes photocopy royalty payments from the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society in England.

The Registry retains a five per cent commission to offset costs in distributing payments.
