What we're about
We are the San Francisco Peninsula branch of the California Writers Club. Meet authors, agents, editors and publishers. Acquire writing techniques to hone your craft. Learn how to market your work in this brave new world of publishing. Polish your public reading skills at a monthly Open Mic, sponsored by our branch. Make use of a variety of mentoring and educational workshops. The Club also offers the chance to network with one's peers, priceless for those engaged in the solitary task of writing. We facilitate the exchange of ideas between authors and provide inspiration through the camaraderie of fellow writers.
Please sign up for our news blasts to stay in touch.

WELCOME!
This online open mic is sponsored by the California Writers Club, SF Peninsula Chapter
For everyone's security, this is a controlled-access meeting. The new registration system is simple:
FILL OUT THIS GOOGLE FORM (copy and paste the following into your browser and complete the form):
https://forms.gle/LWVT5dDs9kbpnyWYA
Registration closes 24 hours before the event starts.
Links will be sent out the evening before, to verified participants who complete the registration form. We do expect some hiccups as we transition. Please place a comment here or communicate through CWC channels if you need help.
Join us for an informal, friendly evening of readings from a variety of authors: poetry, essays, short fiction, excerpts of novels both published and in progress.
If you’d like to enjoy the evening as an audience member, you are more than welcome to join us! You can engage with the authors in chat, learn about the California Writers Club, and lend your support to our readers. (Be prepared to think, "I can do this! Next time, I'm reading, too!")
We will sign up readers on a first-come/first-serve basis. Please arrive on time if you’d like to read. If you're reading, please come prepared to read for 5-8 minutes. We'll flex the available time, depending on the number of participants. We manage time carefully to be sure that everyone who wants to read gets their chance, so keep that in mind as you select your material.
Remember, registration (which is not the same thing as an RSVP on Meetup) is required and enforced.
We're looking forward to seeing you!
