Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas. Initially, new members could join as Fellows, Members or Associates. Fellow status was abolished; not all Fellows paid for subscription and their position within the Society was thus unclear. Members had to have authored at least one full-length work (whether published or performed). Associates were aspiring writers who may not have had any work published. By 1886, there were 153 members. This rose to 240 in 1888, 372 in 1889, 662 in 1891 and 870 in 1892 (Walter Besant, <a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1893-Besant-The-Society-of-Authors">The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation</a>, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (<a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus">Society of Authors Prospectus</a>, 1912). This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.
