Groupings
Some crime writers have banded together to present their work to audiences and readers.
Here's some groups of crime writers just waiting to hear from you.
Are you a (published) crime writer, reviewer, editor or publisher? You
should be (indeed you probably are) a member of Britain's only "club"
for crime writers.
Membership brings you these benefits:
To confirm your status as a crime writer
To promote your books via this web site
To publicise events at which you will be appearing
To meet fellow writers on a social basis
To meet agents, publishers and critics
To take part in exclusive crime writing events
To keep up to date with what's happening
Because if you don't, you'll never know what you missed!
The Crime Writers' Association has four categories of membership.
FULL MEMBERSHIP is limited to writers resident
in the UK who have published at least one novel or non-fiction book with
a crime theme; or published serials, short stories or feature articles
with a crime theme, equivalent in total to a book-length work; or a feature
film script or a number of shorter screenplays with a crime theme, approximating
to a book-length work; or a full-length play with a crime theme, produced
in the professional theatre; or radio or television scripts, which have
been broadcast, and which approximate to a book-length work.
ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP
is open to those who, in their
profession or occupation, are associated with the genre - including publishers,
editors, literary agents, crime reviewers, booksellers and those connected
with the production of members' work, whether in print, on stage, in film,
radio or television.
OVERSEAS MEMBERSHIP
is open to those resident outside
the UK who fulfil the criteria for Full or Associate Membership.
HONORARY MEMBERSHIP
