The SoA Advisory Clinic: A Shout Out For Policy & Public Affairs, With Ambre Morvan SoA Sounds podcast

The Society of Authors holds a renowned and important role in advocating for rights of authors everywhere and at all stages of their career. But what do its policy and public affairs efforts look like in practice? How does it work to maximise the impact of those efforts to affect real and lasting change? And how can writers become involved? Senior Contracts Advisor and Public Policy Manager at the Society of Authors, Ambre Morvan, talks exclusively to Advisory Clinic host, Theo Jones, to discuss all these questions and more.
