    The Writer's Guild of America and the Author's Guild are two separate and distinct organizations. Actually, three, since the WGA is split into East and West. And then, there's the National Writer's Union, which is another thing entirely.


    Might want to clean up the story a bit to clarify.

    @nightsky: Dale reads the US market books and Fry the UK Market.

    @SalilaAchilles: well if the audio version is sold stand-alone, then it doesn't have to be higher priced. It's only more expensive if you have to pay for audio as an add-on.
