Don’t continue the exploitation and strangling of the industry.
Check out the NZWG rates guide (below) and expect to be paid (and pay) reasonable rates for the writers on whom the industry depends.
And join the NZ Writers Guild for all the other benefits it offers and to help support work such as the rates guide, that only gets done because of what members subscriptions allows.
Well done and congratulations Alice and all the Board and other volunteers who pitched in to make this happen. More power to you.

NZWG Rates Guide 2021
Since 1976 the New Zealand Writers Guild – Puni Taatuhi o Aotearoa has advocated minimum rates and conditions for screenwriters in the writing of stage and screen productions. NZWG was the first organisation to negotiate a minimum agreement for scriptwriters in theatres, and in the 1980s negotiated minimum rates for screenwriters through the NZBA Television Series Minimum Standard Agreements.
NZWG is proud to revive the Rates Guide. After many years of no to low increases in rates, NZWG is now seeing a shift in fees and offerings for screenwriters.
Created to empower screenwriters in fee negotiations, giving guidance and assurance that offers are within market ranges. Including recommended rates for the following formats:
- Feature Film
- Short Film
- Television Series
- Web Series
- Radio
The NZWG Rates Guide has been researched over three years and updated based on current market rates and funding allocations for work on local productions. Experienced writers are encouraged to use these rates as a starting point for negotiation. All rates and fees listed are exclusive of GST.
