We have a team of Author Researchers whose job is to trace and sign-up writers for whom we’re holding secondary royalties, as well as members we’ve lost contact with. However, this can be tricky if the trail goes cold and no contact information can be found, or if an email address, postal address or phone number is found but no response is received.

So, to help as many writers as possible receive the royalties they’re owed for the reuse of their works in these difficult times, we’re asking our members to help. We’ve compiled a list of authors (with examples of books they’ve written) we’ve been trying to get in contact with, or find details for, for up to two years. It may be that the information we’ve found for them is out of date, that their contact information is not available or simply that they’ve received our correspondence but haven’t responded. So, if you recognise a writer on this list and you have contact details for them, please ask them to get in touch with the respective member of ALCS staff indicated below.

Please do not send any of their personal details to us.

You can read more about our ability to collect for non-members in our Privacy Policy.
