Following negotiations with the BBC and ITV, we have secured a 3% rise in minimum fees for screenwriters under our ITV/STV/PMA agreement, and a 1.5% rise on minimum fees for audio writers under our BBC radio drama agreement.

WGGB General Secretary Ellie Peers said: “We continue to work hard for writers across all our different craft areas and our negotiations are happening with employers all the time – to ensure that writers are properly remunerated for their vital contributions, whether that’s on screen, stage, page or across our airwaves.”

These rises come on top of a recent rise on minimum fees for playwrights working under our UK Theatre and TNC Agreements; a 10% rise for BBC screenwriters and a renegotiation of our Script Agreement for Television and Online; plus a new deal on remuneration we negotiated with Netflix – the first of its kind for writers in the UK.
