Serving Writers Since 1921
About the Canadian Authors Association
The Canadian Authors Association (CAA) is Canada's national writing organization.
Founded in 1921, the CAA has played a key role in the support and development of the Canadian writing community.
We have charitable status as a registered National Arts Service Organization.
More information about the CAA is available as you browse through the links on the left and the brief overview below.

Significant Contributions
There are many local writing groups across the country, but none are backed by the resources of a national writing organization with a remarkable history of significant contributions to Canadian writing.
The CAA was founded to deal with such issues as copyright and has played a leading role in the recognition of literary talent with the establishment of the Governor General's Literary Awards in 1936.
National Writers with a Local Presence
If you are looking for the type of support only a large national association can give you combined with the direct contact of friendly local branches located in communities right across Canada then the CAA is for you.
"Writers Helping Writers" is more than a motto—it expresses our commitment to beginning and established writers alike.
Our Virtual Branch provides for the needs of those living in remoter communities, those that find attending meetings inconvenient and those that enjoy the friendly expertise that is freely shared.
