AWGACS staff work year-round to identify and contact Australian and New Zealand writers through various means, including email, phone, social media, and via their representatives and agents. Occasionally we are unable to contact a writer, or we have not received a reply despite multiple attempts. When this happens, they are added to the below list so that industry colleagues can assist us in getting royalties to writers as quick as possible.
The names of deceased writers may also appear on this list, in which case we are seeking the estate or beneficiaries of the writer.
If you or someone you know are on this list, please let us know and we’ll get these royalties to you as soon as possible.
