About the Writers’ Union of Iceland

The object of the Writers’ Union of Iceland is that of strengthening the association of Icelandic authors, safeguarding their interests and rights in conformity with international custom, defending the freedom and honour of literature and opposing any kind of persecution of authors and obstacles in their profession.

The Writers’ Union of Iceland will not participate in the struggle of political parties and nor will it be concerned with artistic policies, political opinions or religion. (From the Writers’ Union of Iceland website)
