The Crime Writers' Association (CWA) is a writers' association in the United Kingdom. It was founded by John Creasey in 1953. It is chaired by L C Tyler and has almost 700 members. Membership is open to any author who has had one crime novel produced by a ''bona fide'' publisher (or at the discretion of the committee) with associate membership also offered to those in the publishing industry and provisional membership to writers who have a contract with a publisher but whose book is not out yet. It enables writers to contact each other, promotes crime writing with annual awards, and organises social events. It also supports writing groups, festivals and literary events with authors. The main aims of the CWA are to promote the crime genre and to support professional writers. The CWA has been providing social and professional support for its members for more than half a century, as well as running the prestigious Dagger Awards. The Director of the Crime Writers Association is Lucy Santos, who was previously Secretary of The Authors Club. ==Daggers== The Crime Writers’ Association Daggers awards were started in 1955, less than two years after the association was founded, with the award of a Crossed Red Herring Award to Winston Graham for ''The Little Walls''. Over the years the number of CWA Daggers has increased (and occasionally decreased). Ten Daggers are now awarded annually by the CWA. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crime Writers' Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
