Thank you for your interest in the online edition of the Lord Peter Wimsey Companion!

Access to the LPWC is open to anyone, but we do require you to complete a simple registration process to avoid the service being abused. To start, please go to the Request an Account page. You will be asked to choose a username, and to supply some personal details including your real name and genuine postal address: this is because the information in the LPWC is copyright, and we need to be able to show who has access to it.

You will also need to confirm your email address by replying to a test email sent by the system (so you need to have a working email address in order to sign up, and it is your responsibility to ensure our email is not treated as junk by your email provider). When you have done that, we will review your submission, and within a few days you will have full access to the LPWC.

Members of the Dorothy L Sayers Society also have additional information available to them in a private Members' Area, which includes all current and past Society Bulletins, and a variety of other downloadable resources. The Members' Area uses the same login details as the LPWC.

If you are already a member of the Society, please mention this when you register for the LPWC, and we can set up your access to the Members' Area at the same time. If you are not already a member, you are warmly invited to join us!

If you have any questions about the sign-up process, please contact lpwc-admin@sayers.org.uk
