How to Find (& Create) Your Writing Community

Liz Cahill, Janis Cooke Newman, Peggy Lee, Rachel Richardson, Jesus Sierra, and 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.

There will not be table space provided in our Writers' Workshop venues, so in addition to bringing paper and a pen, we recommend bringing a book or other hard surface to write on.
