My heart melted a bit to see this in an all girls Catholic secondary school today where I did a workshop. Spoke about the importance of being yourself, expression, creativity and empowerment ❤ #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #creativity #writing #voice #power #love #selflove #BeYourOwnHero

Arts orgs have seen big funding increase since COVID. And there are more bursaries and awards available. But fees and rates remain stubbornly low in the face of inflation.

Funders and employers need to consider prioritising artist pay before further expanding programme sizes.

[MatchintheDark @match_inthedark]

Writers are not expecting massive fee increases overnight, only an acknowledgement that current fees and rates rarely cover the hours of work involved, and that greater efforts and policy shifts are needed by employers and funders to improve the lot of writers.

[Dani Gill @TheeDaniMagic]

Proud to present this Writers Pay document with my colleague Brendan MacEvilly @match_inthedark Thank you to the writers who endorsed and contributed so far 🙏 #writerspay #writers #artists #artistpay #WritingCommunity #fairpay

[MatchintheDark @match_inthedark]

New guideline pay rates for writers are here!

Thank you so much to the 6 writers on the advisory panel who worked incredibly hard to help devise it, and the 160 writers who endorsed it with the @WritersUnion_ie & @Praxis_Union

A really thorough outline of the ways in which @SkeinPress work hard to pay their writers through a variety of job types and income streams:

Including fees of €250 plus expenses paid to their writers on launch night. This tonight @MoLI_Museum

[MatchintheDark @match_inthedark]

#SayWhatYouPay is a new initiative seeking pay transparency for writers.

@Match_inthedark asked literature organisations if they would list their fees and conditions for writers. The response from the Irish literature community has been really positive:
