Take a closer look at the craft of writing with books selected by the group. Discussions explore practical ways to apply each book’s advice to our stories and writing routines.
The club’s regular schedule is the first Thursday at 4 PM Pacific in February, April, June, August, October, and December. We’re currently seeking a moderator to lead these discussions. Please check the
Events Calendar for confirmed meetings.
