Our Goals
OPUS Literary Alliance seeks to attract literary types of all ages and from all walks of life, inviting them to connect with our programming and community, both to enrich their skills and enrich their lives.

OPUS Literary Alliance upholds its commitment to a diverse community by nurturing an inclusive, supportive, and welcoming environment.

OPUS Literary Alliance strives to elevate its educational and artistic standards, remaining open and responsive to changing conditions in the worldwide literary scene.
OPUS Literary Alliance takes an active role in preserving both the legacies and the future of our literature by providing exemplary education programs, recognizing the best books, and encouraging its members to serve as advocates for our literature in society.
