Can you help me getting my manuscript published?

Sadly not. However, for tips on getting agents and how to present your manuscript you could consult the Writers and Artists Yearbook. Most public libraries and good bookstores have copies. You could also consider entering the CWA's Debut Dagger competition for unpublished writers. Many of the previous winners have been signed by agents and/or have been offered publishing contracts.
 

Can fans join the CWA?

Only commercially published authors and people from related industries can join.
 

Can we have a speaker from the CWA for our club etc?

Probably. More details are on our speakers page.
 

Is there a list of the winners of the various "daggers" over the years?

Yes. This link takes you to the list of winners.
 

I can't find the answer to my question here. Can you help please?

Yes. Just email info@theCWA.co.uk and we'll do our best to help.
