| Published Alumni Reading Series |
The Community of Writers is delighted to celebrate the success of our alumni, and we invite those with recent books back to the Workshops to present their work to participants, staff, and the public. Admission is free to the public and no reservations are required. |
In 2012, the Community of Writers sponsored its first ever reading during the infamous LitCrawl at San Francisco’s LitQuake literary festival. |
| Panels & Craft Talks |
Don’t miss the chance to hear our staff share insights into the craft and business of writing. Topics are new each year, with the exception of our popular publishing panels, which feature agents, editors, and publishers providing insights and answering questions on this shifting landscape. Most panels and craft talks take place during the afternoon. Admission is free to the public and no reservations are required. |
