ALMA (Autores Literarios de Medios Audiovisuales; lit. 'Literary Authors of Audiovisual Media')[1] is Spanish trade union which represents writers in the fields of film and television in both fiction and non-fiction works. It was founded in 1989. Rafael Azcona, Agustín Díaz Yanes, Manolo Matji, Lola Salvador, José María González-Sinde, Carmen Rico Godoy, and Joaquín Oristrell were among the founding members.[2]
In 2013, the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) punished ALMA with €36,000 for publishing a table of indicative rates for its affiliates.[3][4] In 2015, ALMA partnered with The Black List.[5] ALMA joined the International Affiliation of Writers Guilds (IAWG) in 2019.[6] It had been previously been involved as observer member from 2016 to 2018.[7] The organization established the ALMA Awards in collaboration with DAMA to recognize excellence in the works of its affiliates.[8][9] In 2025, ALMA raised concerns about professional intrusion when non-screenwriting individuals hijack the credit of "creator" of television series.[10]
