Byline

CAA–NCR produces an e-magazine, Byline.

Byline contains stories, articles of interest to writers, information about upcoming events and lots more. Regular features include a Poetry Corner, an Information Corner, and a Fiction Corner.  

We pay

We look for writing-related articles that include information about the process, profession or business of writing, or insights into the writer’s world. See our submissions guidelines below.

We advertise

Members of Canadian Authors Association receive free ad space for general notices about their writing. Advertisements about a member’s business, workshop, or other talents for sale are considered advertisement and rates apply. See advertising for member and non-member rates.
