For the past several years, the SCBWI has been working with many other author groups as part of the Authors Coalition to reclaim non-title specific royalties from photocopies made abroad. With your help, in the past year the SCBWI has collected
$394,509 which has allowed us to support professional membership activities and give direct block grants to the regions for programs of benefit to writer and illustrator full members. Our share of the money collected is determined by the responses that we get from the genre survey below; your prompt and accurate answers will determine how much money we receive in the coming year.
Please check the categories to which you belong, i.e. in which you qualify as a published author. (Please do not check more than one box for one piece of work, i.e. the same book cannot qualify you as both a nonfiction author and a textbook author. You should, however, check either or both formats, as appropriate.) For purposes of this survey, a “published” work means that 1) the work is reasonably capable of being photocopied abroad and is not self-published, or 2) if the work is self-published, that there have been no fewer than 1,000 copies sold, and that the work is commercially distributed outside the U. S. and is reasonably capable of being photocopied abroad. For purposes of this survey, author-subsidized publications shall be considered self-published. We know that the list is not inclusive, but all Coalition members must use this list because this is how foreign reprographic rights organizations conduct their surveys to determine what kinds of non-title specific works are being photocopied.
