Every year the ACP compiles an updated directory of its membership, affiliates and associated cultural and government organizations. This directory is an important tool for promoting Canadian-owned publishers at national and international book fairs and conferences, such as the London and Frankfurt book fairs, and BookExpo America. These directories are also distributed to other interested parties, such as Simon Fraser University, unpublished writers and media who are interested in finding out more about the Canadian-owned and controlled publishing industry.
