European Writers' Council

The European Writers' Council (EWC, the European Writers' Congress until 2010) is a federation of authors' associations. It represents over 150,000 writers in 60 associations in 34 European countries.[1] It is recognised by the European Union, UNESCO, and WIPO.[2]

It is involved in the awarding of the European Union Prize for Literature.[3]

The EWC was founded in 1977 as the Federation of European Writers’ Associations. In 2006 it was created as an International Non-Profit Association under Belgian law as the European Writers' Congress, and in 2010 it was renamed the European Writers' Council.[1]
