The company was founded by Jack David andRobert Lecker in 1974 as aCanadianliterary magazine namedEssays on Canadian Writing. Five years later, ECW published its first books—trade and scholarly titles. It started with two principal series: theAnnotated Bibliography of Canada's Major Authors (ABCMA) andCanadian Writers and Their Works (CWTW). Through the 1980s, ECW upgraded its typesetting facilities, published reference titles and began to service third-party clients, creating books for corporations to use for promotional purposes and events such as anniversaries.
In the 1990s, ECW re-commenced trade publishing and expanded its scholarly and reference lines for high school and public libraries. They started publishing a mix of commercial books alongside their literary books,[3] such aspop culture books (the first beingThe Duchovny Files: The Truth Is in Here by Paul Mitchell, published in 1995, a biographical dossier on actorDavid Duchovny that includes episode guides ofThe X-Files),[4]sports books, andgenre fiction.[1]
ECW produced its first audiobook in 2009 and expanded its operations in 2015. ECW launched the audiobook imprint Bespeak Audio, focusing on Canadian production of Canadian books, in 2017.[5]
