• Professional Writers Association of Canada

  In 1976, a group of freelance writers began to meet to discuss ways of improving working conditions and rates for writers in Canada's magazine and newspaper industries. Their discussions led to the foundation of the Periodical Writers Association of Canada (PWAC), a nation-wide non-profit organization that has played a leading role in the industry ever since.
  
  In 2005, PWAC became the Professional Writers Association of Canada, reflecting the broader professional interests of approximately 600 members across the country.
