Disclaimers and Endorsements

Writers Victoria will publish a statement online and within each edition of The Victorian Writer that clearly states that advertising is not an indication of endorsement.

As part of an annual member’s survey, members will be asked whether they have had positive or negative experiences with any of our regular advertisers.

Those advertisers who receive five or more positive responses will be offered the option to have a ‘WV Members Recommend’ logo applied to their advertisement.

Those advertisers who receive five or more negative responses (or equivalent number of complaints throughout the year) will no longer be able to advertise with Writers Victoria.
