West Valley Writers Workshop Meets the fourth Saturday of each month

We hold our Workshop meetings from 1:15 to 4:15:00 p.m., the fourth Saturday of every month. Please RSVP if you plan to attend on this website and send a note to bob@duckles.org

The members form a congenial group of published authors, aspiring authors, and writers figuring out what they want to write and how to do it. All three of these descriptions apply to some individual members.

We focus on getting published, and once published, getting people to read our work. We welcome all genres: fiction for any age, memoir, how-to, poetry, and movie scripts. Not sure you want to publish? Perhaps we can help you find out.

Each month a visitor or a member of our group makes a presentation about strategies that have worked—or not. We explore the pros and cons of self-publishing or going the conventional route. We learn about pitfalls along the way and mistakes we can avoid; about evolving marketing opportunities available to the authors, old and new, and how to use them.

Our group has a wealth of experience and willingness to share. We help hone skills and discover new avenues.

Not sure? Come to a meeting to find out. First-timers tell us our meetings are enjoyable. There are no membership fees. As a writer, do bring your own pencil or pen.

When you plan to attend, please RSVP on this website and send an email to bob@duckles. org
