Helplines and discounts
CWA members enjoy a number of perks to help their day-to-day work and career, from a tax advice helpline to discounts on membership with sister organisations.
Helplines
Members have access to a dedicated phone service specialising in helping authors with tax affairs. This is kindly provided by accountants HW Fisher, with whom the CWA has a close working relationship.
We also invite members to use and participate in our unique Ask an Expert network, where they can pick the brains of their fellow authors on subjects in which they have expertise. All members are invited to offer advice in their specialist areas.
Discounts
CWA Members also save money with offers the CWA negotiates on their behalf, including:
- Reduced price on weekend passes for CrimeFest
- Reduced price to attend the Bloody Scotland conference
- Members-only reduced tickets to the CWA Dagger awards ceremony
- Discounted Society of Authors membership for the first year (SoA membership also includes access to a dedicated author contracts helpline)
- Discounted Historical Writers’ Association membership in the first year
- Discounted Crime Writers of Canada membership in the first year
