Corporate and Associate Membership
Many of the promotional opportunities open to our full author members are also available to corporate and associate members. If your authors have events coming up, we can put them in our events listings. Corporate and Associate members are also welcome to pen articles for our reader publication, The CWA Readers’ News (subject to the editor’s approval). And we can promote your competitions on our socials.
Our newsletters have around 12,000 subscribers, while our social media reach totals over 20,000 engaged followers across the most popular platforms.
Corporate and associate members are also entitled to discounted rates on paid advertising. Literary agents and publisher members will receive the Emerging Author Dagger shortlisted entries so they can approach these keen new writers promptly, should they wish.
We encourage corporate and associate members who work alongside eligible authors to suggest they also become CWA members, and gain all the benefits of full membership.
Access to Emerging Author Dagger entries
Publishers and literary agencies who join the CWA as either corporate or associate members are entitled to read each year’s shortlisted entries for the Emerging Author Dagger. Many shortlisted and winning Debut writers have gone on to enjoy successful writing careers following publishing interest in their Dagger entry, so this is a significant opportunity to discover tomorrow’s bestsellers ahead of your competition.
Dagger sponsorship opportunities
Many sponsors past and present, both of the Dagger awards and the Daggers ceremony itself, have been CWA corporate members who are already engaged with the Association and our activities. Dagger sponsors enjoy prominent placement and year-round promotion in connection with these prestigious awards.
