Authors Project

An invitation of Chinese Canadian writers to China in 2013 has created a response of interests in Canada and in China to share and access Chinese Canadian authors. The intention of this page is to provide a resource of Asian Canadian authors and selected titles for educators, institutions, and academic departments in Canada, China and for all those interested.

A spreadsheet will be available on line soon for accessing and organizing a more complete list of authors. This first Chinese Canadian author list is a result of the China trip. An Asian Canadian authors and subjects list will follow soon. You are welcome to create a profile page of an Asian Canadian author and contribute to this resource list of Asian and Chinese Canadian authors and titles.
