Anyone whose books are published by a firm that pays standard advances and royalties is qualified to be listed as an author at Left Coast Crime. Active members of the Mystery Writers of America are automatically accepted as authors but anyone who is not an MWA member but who meets their requirements is an author. This includes anyone who has ever been published by an accepted publisher regardless of their current situation. Authors from publishers who do not meet the MWA's years in business or number of titles rule but who do pay advances and standard royalties are accepted by Left Coast Crime on a provisional basis but must submit an affidavit (including a standard contract) attesting to that fact. Only authors who have contributed financially to the publication of all of their books either through self-publishing or through a vanity or subsidy press are not eligible unless they have been shortlisted for a major mystery award (the Edgar, the Anthony, the Agatha, the Dilys, the Barry, the Hammett, the Macavity, the Lefty, the Nero Wolfe, the CWA Dagger, the Shamus, the Arthur Ellis, and the Bruce Alexander Awards). Non-American writers without U.S. publishers who meet the above requirements or who are active members in their national mystery writer associations also qualify.
