Copyright Licensing New Zealand (CLNZ) is conducting a survey on the incomes of New Zealand writers. This is the third time we have conducted this survey and, in addition to aggregating earnings information that is not available from elsewhere, we ask questions about your rights so that we can reference your responses in the advocacy work of CLNZ, the NZ Society of Authors, the NZ Writers Guild and Playmarket.

To ensure this survey is representative of the breadth of writing that takes place in New Zealand, we'd like writers of all genres and income brackets to participate.

The survey questions ask for estimations of your earnings from writing. Please provide the closest estimates that you can. Responses are confidential.

The survey is being hosted by an independent research company. All information provided will be aggregated prior to being made available to CLNZ. No individual responses will be published.

It is best to complete the survey in one session. If you do need to take a break from the survey, please do not close it, or you will be unable to restart from where you left off.  That is because the survey system deliberately does not track who you are and would therefore not be able to find your survey record again. 

If you choose to provide your contact details at the conclusion of the survey, a copy of the survey report will be sent to you once it is finalised.

Any questions in regard to the survey can be sent to info@copyright.co.nz.

Our thanks in advance for your participation.
