We are writers seriously dedicated to the process and content of our writing. Some of us work professionally as writers (I'm a developmental editor) and also have different creative genres of writing that we are working on (novels, scripts, essays, memoirs, travel writing, and more). Others work in different professions but have writing projects they are deeply committed to. We also consider the publishing industry and marketing. As your organizer, I have many years in the publishing industry ( …

Writing offers a way for people to connect to deeper, wiser aspects of ourselves – a way for us to find out, as the poet Audre Lorde said, “what we didn’t know we knew.” Almost every writer has experienced mysterious moments when the words that flow from our pens, or from our fingers on a keyboard, seem as if they come from someplace else – a place beyond our small human selves. Sometimes, when we let it happen, it’s as if the words become a little boat, a raft on which we can sail in a larger s …

We write, we love, we hurt, we heal and begin again. We are Bohemians in the truest sense of the words and write only to forget. We are primal deviants who made pure by the certainty of our transgressions, Saints who would be whores but cannot afford the dues. We meet, we read, we laugh, we drink, far too much and cut ourselves to shreds in search a single sentence that moves our hard hearts. Perhaps we spend too many nights alone, perhaps we are simply in need of fellow fools to soften the blow …

A few of us (well, two) aspiring science fiction/fantasy writers were looking for a serious critique and write-sharing group to join. We thought, hey, lots of people in Berkeley must love sci-fi...we just have to find them and get them in a cafe. The group is open to anyone who is writing in the genre or who enjoys it enough to read other people's writing and provide serious and supportive critique. What kind of writing? Screenplays, novels, short stories, YA...you name it. We share our writing …

I find it extremely difficult to find group of people that has the same passion for the written word as I do. If you do not want to drive half an hour, over three bridges, and sit in traffic for who knows how long, this may be the group for you. The patrons of this group should be open-minded to all forms of writing, yes even sci-fi, as well as, being open to honest but respectful feedback from the group. Publishers and editors are welcome, or if your just new in town and want to hear local writ …
If you're a writer in your 20's, you know how difficult it can be to find others who are on the same page as you. Most writing meetups in San Francisco are composed of older adults, and while they're lovely folks, it's not possible to build a social group with people who are decades older. Being a young writer is a specific stage with its own difficulties, and we should face this challenge together! So let's meet up, make friends, talk craft, and most importantly, let's write.
