San Francisco Peninsula Branch of the California Writers Club

The San Francisco Peninsula Branch of the California Writers Club encourages, champions, and cheers its members. A community of writers at every level in their journeys, members connect with other writers, find critique groups, share their work, and support one another.

The motto of the California Writers Club—founded in 1909—is “Writers Helping Writers.” Our branch serves that motto through public workshops, meetings, and lively interaction through both in-person and online events from open mikes to social gatherings.
