The earliest publications featured two anthologies: Inalienable Rice: A Chinese and Japanese Canadian Anthology (1979) and West Coast Line: The Asian Canadian and the Arts (1981). ACWW began in the late sixties - early seventies with a handful of community activists turned writers. ACWW established a number of successes: writing workshops, literary anthologies, book clubs, mentorship of new writers, one-on-one manuscript development sessions, an annual reading series, chapters in Edmonton and Toronto, as well as the creation of the ACWW Emerging Writer's Award. Its primary purpose is to foster a community of writers and build literature. The Asian Canadian Writers' Workshop (ACWW) was created out of a need to develop and nurture Pacific Rim Asian writers.
