Crime Writers

The CWC publishes a quarterly newsletter (Fingerprints) and a directory (In Cold Blood) of membersí books. On-line members also receive Fingerprints Online, a twice-monthly e-mail about membersí new books and activities, as well as industry news. Each year, the CWC presents the Arthur Ellis Awards, Canadaís national awards in the crime-writing field. The CWC has regional branches: the Prairies and BC chapter, based in Vancouver and Victoria; Toronto and Ottawa chapters in Ontario; and the Quebec and Maritimes chapter based in Montreal. If a group of members wishes to set up a new chapter, we encourage them to do so. We have three classes of members: Full members ñ professional authors Full members ñ publishers, editors, agents, booksellers, and others in the publishing industry Associate members ñ pre-published authors, fans, librarians, and others interested in crime writing.
