With thanks to Chris whose blog post prompted me to write this one - something I meant to post about ages ago.
Although it's perhaps not particularly relevant to womens' magazine short story writers, I know a lot of you write articles, contribute to anthologies and also write novels. The Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) may not have a snappy name but do an important job collecting royalties on behalf of their registered members. It's a £25 one-off fee to join, and if you publish a lot it would be well worth joining.
Take a look at their website here and even if it's not relevant to you now, bear them in mind for when you hit the big time!
Edited 30th March 2009 - please see comments below this post for more info - it IS worth registering if you're a short story writer!

Thanks for the link.
:-)
Thank you, I'll take a look now.
Thanks for posting this, Womag. I don't think I need it yet but you never know :-)
Thanks for the mention, womag - but I list ALL my short stories, not just features, for ALCS and get paid universal copying royalties for them. It's well worth listing stories - I know someone who earned loads this year just for stories - and ALCS will currently accept them back-dated to 2006. Truly well worth registering with them.
If you're a member of the Society of Authors and/or the Writer's Guild of Great Britain - the fee is waived for life! Well worth joining!
