Jaguar Book Group (Canada) Baker and Taylor Publisher Services (USA) Turnaround Publisher Services Ltd.(UK & Europe) New South Books (Australia & New Zealand)
The company was founded by Jack David and
Robert Lecker in 1974 as a
Canadianliterary magazine named Essays on Canadian Writing. Five years later, ECW published its first books—trade and scholarly titles. It started with two principal series: the Annotated Bibliography of Canada's Major Authors (ABCMA) and Canadian Writers and Their Works (CWTW). Through the 1980s, ECW upgraded its typesetting facilities, published reference titles and began to service third-party clients, creating books for corporations to use for promotional purposes and events such as anniversaries.
In the 1990s, ECW re-commenced trade publishing and expanded its scholarly and reference lines for high school and public libraries. They started publishing a mix of commercial books alongside their literary books,[3] such as
pop culture books (the first being The Duchovny Files: The Truth Is in Here by Paul Mitchell, published in 1995, a biographical dossier on actor
David Duchovny that includes episode guides of
The X-Files),[4]sports books, and
genre fiction.[1]
ECW produced its first audiobook in 2009 and expanded its operations in 2015. ECW launched the audiobook imprint Bespeak Audio, focusing on Canadian production of Canadian books, in 2017.[5]
