Do all writers qualify for CAL membership?
A. No. Membership is restricted to professional writers living in Colorado at the time of application. You must have been paid for the work you submit in your application. (Some exceptions are made for poets who are paid in copies of the book.) CAL specifically serves active authors of books (non-fiction and fiction), playwrights and authors of poetry, short stories, essays and articles who are regularly published in national or regional publications on a freelance basis.
