About the California Writer's Club

THE CALIFORNIA WRITERS CLUB was started by a group of community-minded writing professionals in the early 1900s. They met informally until 1909, when the Club was founded, with Austin Lewis as its first president. The Berkeley Branch is the founding branch of the statewide Club, which now has 19 branches and around 2000 members throughout California.

The CWC is a nonprofit professional organization open to writers in every genre and at every level of experience, from novice to published.

Our writer’s motto, “Sail on!” is from Joaquin Miller’s poem, .
