If You’re Serious About Writing
Whether you're a published author or an emerging writer, if you're serious about your writing, you've come to the right place!
Writers Helping Writers
The CAA motto is Writers Helping Writers and incorporates several objectives:
- To work for the encouragement and protection of writers.
- To speak for writers before government and other inquiries.
- To sponsor awards and otherwise encourage work of literary and artistic merit.
- To improve the professionalism of Canadian writers.
About This Branch
This Branch is one of several CAA branches representing local writers within a national association of writers. You have the advantages of a local writing group combined with the protection and benefits that only a national association can provide.
Victoria & Islands Branch offers meetings, Writers' Circles, workshops and other writing events that provide advice, skills development, networking opportunities and other writing-related resources.
Open to Everyone
Our events are open to everyone interested in writing. Admission to most events is free to CAA Members; non-members pay a nominal fee that varies, depending on the event.
