How to Find (& Create) Your Writing Community

Saturday, May 31 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The Marsh Berkeley - Theater

  • Community
  • RSVP required
  • Writers' Workshops
  • Writing & Publishing

Janis Cooke Newman, Rhea Joseph, Peggy Lee, David Roderick, Jesus Francisco Sierra, Kurt Wallace

Being a writer can be very isolating. You spend hours alone in a room with a bunch of imaginary people, and it’s next to impossible to explain to anybody who isn’t a writer, exactly what you’re doing there.

That’s why having a writing community is so important.

We’ve invited representatives from six Bay Area writing communities – the Writers Grotto, the Ruby, Left Margin Lit, Decentered Arts, SF Writers Workshop, and Page Street—to come and talk about their organizations, and explain how you can become a member.

We’ll also talk about how to create your own writing community, whether online or in-person. And of course, leave time for questions.
