Sunday Assembly San Diego

Are you a female writer looking for support, community, fun, and thoughtful, constructive feedback? Do you want a space to read your work aloud and discuss your writing journey in a FEMALE-ONLY, supportive environment? This group may be a great fit.
All reading and critiquing happens during the Meetup itself—no advance reading required. This allows us to respond to the work in real time, ask questions, and explore what’s working (and what isn’t) right in the moment.
All genres and forms of creative writing are welcome. We follow the Sunday Assembly San Diego spirit of “we welcome all who welcome all,” so content that targets or marginalizes vulnerable groups (e.g., racism, homophobia, sexism) isn’t a fit for this space.
This is a female‑only group. To maintain a comfortable and secure environment, all participants must be female and must appear on camera with their first name visible.
To keep the group supportive and productive, this Meetup is best suited for intermediate‑level writers—females who are actively writing, revising, and ready for thoughtful, craft‑focused feedback. While we’re friendly and encouraging, this is not a beginner or instruction‑heavy group.
We have a five‑person limit, so reliability matters. Members who RSVP and no‑show three times (without canceling) will be removed to make room for others. Last‑minute cancellations can prevent someone else from attending, so please update your RSVP as early as possible.
For safety and community connection, attendees must display their first name and appear on camera. Please arrive within 10 minutes of the start time; after that, your spot may be offered to someone on the waitlist.
Thank you for helping us maintain a warm, respectful, and creatively energizing space for female writers.

Please donate your most cherished, high value treasures for our rummage sale fundraiser! In lieu of that, we will also gladly accept your gently used and salable items that you want to go to good homes. In particular, we are looking for tools, furniture, appliances, jewelry, kitchenware, household decor, rugs, kids and baby stuff, and sports equipment. These things sold well and early at previous rummage sales. Functional, whole items (no missing pieces or parts) only, please.

We appreciate your support! Unsold items will be donated to a local nonprofit. Our non-profit runs solely on fundraisers and direct money donations, so we hope y'all can use this an an excuse to go through that storage unit or garage, or help someone you know go through theirs. How many of us want our parent's stuff, anyway, amiright? This means if you have kids, they don't want YOUR stuff either. :-)

If you have items to donate, please send us a note by Meetup message, Facebook message, or email to sundayassemblysandiego@gmail.com to arrange for drop off or pick up. Drop off locations are available at an office in Mira Mesa, a residence in Chula Vista, a residence in North County or at the January 18, February 15, March 15, April 19, or May 17 Assemblies in Bankers Hill at our regular venue.

Come with as many books, puzzles, games, or pieces of art as you want [imagine gif of little girl saying "why not both?"], and leave with as many as you want. You can take items even if you do not donate items!

Even though we can’t promise to have the type of books you may be looking for, we encourage you to bring books for all reading levels and ages. Leftover books, games, and puzzles will be donated to a worthy cause.

This event will be held outside on the back patio unless the weather looks not so great, in which case, it will be moved inside. This event is open to anyone at 12:30 with a hard stop at 1:30 PM when the building closes.

This is an LGBTQ-friendly event.

San Diego Sunday Assembly is an inclusive, non-religious organization with the motto "Live Better, Help Often, Wonder More." If you would like to attend the non-religious community event that Sunday Assembly holds right before at 11 AM, there is free childcare for kids over 18 months, and everyone is welcome. We do fun singalongs and share fellowship, including hearing from a speaker.

We welcome all who welcome all!
