Chronicle Books has published our first book of fiction craft lectures available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.

The Community is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. We depend on the generosity of friends, former participants and staff to fund the scholarship and tuition waivers we grant to our talented participants. Donations of any amount are appreciated.

Donate now with PayPal or visit JustGive.Org.

Checks can be made out to The Community of Writers and mailed to PO Box 1416, Nevada City, CA 95959.

We hope participants who receive a tuition waiver or scholarship later, when and if financial matters improve in their lives, to help make the same thing possible for another writer. Donors may consider sending a Full Scholarship, which may be granted in their name, or the name of a loved one ($740); a Partial Scholarship for $250-$600; or may give $10, $20 or $100 or any amount they feel they can afford. If each and every former participant who has ever received financial aid gave $50 we would have more than enough money to fund our financial aid program.

Donors may also give donations to the Community of Writers for general support. Any and all contributions are needed and greatly appreciated.

Donations are tax-deductable. Tax ID: 23-7179177
