Join this free, prompt-driven community writing group for L.A. wildfire survivors at Vroman's Bookstore.
About this Event

Come together in community to write about the cherished places we have been, what we have lost (and found), and how we will chart a way forward. Ignite your creativity, share your stories, and find connection in this non-judgmental and creative environment.

Participants of all ages are welcome. Please arrive 5 or 10 minutes early to get settled, as we start the group promptly at 1 PM. Bring a notebook (nothing fancy) and a pen.


Hosted by Saved by a Story Writing Facilitator Shermaine Barlaan.


Upcoming Dates:

  • Friday, February 20, 2026
  • Friday, March 20, 2026

(Future groups will be hosted at Bob Lucas Memorial Library in Altadena.)


Part of the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Relief Fund: Community Healing and Restoration Grant Project.
