About the Educational Writers Group (EWG)
The SoA Educational Writers Group (EWG) was established in 1964 to:
- Protect the interests of educational authors in professional matters, especially contracts, rates of pay, digitisation and copyright
- Keep its members informed about developments in education, curriculum, ELT, digital media and government policy
- Lobby for adequate funding for books in schools, colleges and libraries, and for well-stocked public libraries and professionally-staffed libraries in all educational institutions
- Encourage publishers in all media to respect the highest professional standards in educational writing
- Enable educational writers to network and socialise in congenial surroundings.
Members of the SoA who write materials for any educational context can choose to join the EWG and receive digital newsletters to keep them abreast of EWG events within the SoA and the wider educational landscape, which the SoA campaigns to ensure is equitable for members.
