our mission

The mission of the Columbia County Authors Alliance (CCAA) is to support Columbia County, Oregon writers through educational and networking opportunities, local author events, anthologies, regular creative gatherings, and building connections with readers.

The real goal: building connections between writers—because when writers support each other, everyone's work gets stronger. And when the writing community thrives, readers are drawn to the magic, too.
