‎"Telling our stories is the only way we can claim ourselves, take control of our identity and re-frame it in a way that's truthful to our experience. That honesty is a gift."

~Elissa Schappell

 

South OC Writers - Poets & Dreamers 

We are a multi-faceted circle of creative and professional writers gathering at writing workshops throughout Southern California. Our vibrant, active circle represents established and aspiring authors of literary fiction, historical fiction, commercial fiction, non-fiction, memoir, romance, short fiction, screenplays, professional communications, poetry and more. Within the many specialized circles that meet, our in-depth discussions inspire a brilliant exchange of literary insights, and ultimately, the fruition of our dreams as writers.

 

 

 

Our Process: 

-Our writers gather weekly or bi-weekly as professional, cohesive groups to collaborate on the craft.

-We encourage wise creative experimentation while drawing on the collective genius of our literary masters. 

-We devote a generous amount of time to in-depth exploration of each writer's work.

-Viable works-in-progress and a commitment to interact positively/professionally are crucial. 

-Our main goal: to support thriving groups that work together wisely, positively and productively through the process of completion, revision and publication.

Our Status: 

We look forward to working with you as you establish and meet your goals as a writer.
Important elements you should bring to the group:

-Writing background, or an intense desire to create great works
-Writing ability
-Viable work(s)-in-progress
-Commitment to interact positively and exchange critiques in a professional format.

If you would like to take part as a crucial contributor to this intensive, collaborative experience, join our creative circle today and work with us!
