Next Meeting: August Workshop
Sisters in Crime authors teach the workshop "Pacing: Keeping the Story Moving with Subplots, Character Arc, and Wordcraft."
Juliet Blackwell, Margaret Grace (Camille Minichino), and Sophie Littlefield have written multiple series in multiple genres and received multiple awards. But you don't have to pay multiple dollars to learn from them. All three writers are articulate and passionate about how to make sure your work maximizes its story potential!
Bring your current work in progress, as there will be writing exercises.
When: August 7, Noon - 2 PM.
Where: Castro Valley library.
Cost: Free

September Meeting alert: We'll be joining the Northern California chapter of the Mystery Writers of America in September for a round-table event with local authors on September 25. More details in August.
