Writing History, Finding Community with Richard Schwartz

Whether you're an aspiring writer or you've published six books, if you write the California Writers Club is for you. This Sunday mingle with other writers over pizza and beer in Berkeley's 6th Ave. district at Gilman Brewery.
Doors open at 1 pm for bit of time to get a snack and mingle with other writers. At 2:30, we'll receive a presentation from author and historian Richard Schwartz, followed by a Q&A.

Following this, authors can gather to discuss their writing issues and goals. Experienced marketing professionals will offer advice and more experienced professionals are encouraged to attend and mentor aspiring authors. But every author can use support now and then and we also share goals to help keep each other accountable.

Nonmembers pay a $10 fee to cover our speaker fees but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Tickets here or at the event.

ABOUT RICHARD SCHWARTZ
He has written five books on local and national history on topics that were always forgotten or lost. They have won numerous awards and acclamations. The public reaction to the books spurred him to burn the midnight oil and wet his curiosity about how such amazing stories were ever lost. Richard also has, for decades, been finding and recording with the State of California historical archive previously unknown Native American sites in the Bay Area. He has found over 1,000 locations and is called on by archaeologists. Richard loves what he does and feels he is made for his custom life.

He’ll share how his writing evolved and guide participants into finding their own paths.
