Description
An account of the resource
By the time of the first general meeting on 18 February 1884, the Society of Authors had 14 <a href="https://historysoa.com/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=66&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Vice-President&sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle">Vice-Presidents</a> and 68 members. Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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"><em>The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation</em></a>, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (<em><a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus">Society of Authors Prospectus</a></em>, 1912).<br /><br />This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.

An account of the resource
By the time of the first general meeting on 18 February 1884, the Society of Authors had 14 <a href="https://historysoa.com/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=66&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Vice-President&sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle">Vice-Presidents</a> and 68 members. Annual subscription was set at a guinea; life subscription was 10 guineas.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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"><em>The Society of Authors: A Record of Its Action from Its Foundation</em></a>, 1893). By 1912, there were over 2,000 members (<em><a href="https://historysoa.com/publications/1912-Prospectus">Society of Authors Prospectus</a></em>, 1912).<br /><br />This collection currently includes over 200 prominent members of the Society.

Description
An account of the resource
A literary agency, assisting authors in placing manuscripts with publishers. Management was voluntary and unpaid, and there was a separate Council for the Syndicate. The Syndicate's services were, initially, only available to members of the Society. Run by <a href="https://historysoa.com/people/Colles-William-Morris">William Morris Colles</a>, it was based on the same floor as the Society of Authors' own offices in Portugal Street. In 1898, there was a split between the Society and the Syndicate, dissolving the partnership entirely after a series of problems with Colles' running of the organisation. Colles continued the business until his death in 1926.
