History

The magazine was started in 1919 with the name Canadian Bookman.[2][3] Its founding editor was B. K. Sandwell.[4] The first issue appeared in January 1919.[4] The magazine contained publication notices and articles about authors and literary history,[5] as well as essays about literary style and genres.[6]

In 1921 it became the official media outlet of CAA, providing information both of interest to and also about Canadian writers,[2][7] as well as providing a voice for the CAA through editorials.[8]

The magazine was renamed as Canadian Author & Bookman in 1943,[2][9] and was and was sold at newsstands beginning in 1945 with a sturdier binding.[10]

In 1963 the magazine absorbed Canadian Poetry magazine, which had been established in 1936.[2][11] Issues began to be titled Canadian Author & Bookman, and Canadian Poetry..[12] Canadian Author & Bookman ceased publication in 1998.[1]

Renamed Canadian Author, the magazine was revived, and although its future was uncertain at times,[13] it continued to be published by the CAA.
