Who We Are

The Colorado Authors League (CAL) supports and promotes its community of published writers while connecting with and adding value to the reading world.


Formed in 1931, authors become members to:

  • keep up with changes in the craft of writing, publishing and marketing. CAL wants to understand the many changes taking place because of our digital, connected world. As an organization, we want to help shape solutions for the future.
  • gain greater visibility for their writing by working with a group than they might find on their own.
  • join a group of like-minded people who love writing, with whom they can share their knowledge, experience, joys of publishing, and contest wins, but also commiserate about losses, rejection letters, and lagging sales. In short, they find new friends.


Member benefits include:


  • Inclusion in CAL's membership directory
  • Access to CAL's newsletters, updates, and info on special events
  • Participation in the CAL community through meet-ups, events, and cooperative promotion and support groups
  • Eligible to join our CAL goodreads group and pull your books onto the bookshelf
