Our May speaker, Constance Hale, shares tips and techniques, insights and inspiration—all from her new book about how to transform sentences. Her talk will romp through the history of English, bust a few favorite myths of grammar teachers, and include examples ranging from Shakespeare to Shake N Bake, Joan Didion to Junot Díaz. She throws in a game and a contest to show you how to exercise a few new muscles.
A Note from the President
"Welcome! We are so lucky to have such a lively, informative writers' group
on the Central Coast, a chapter of the historic California Writers Club. We
have speakers from all over the State at our meetings - held on the third
Tuesday evening of each month - talking about the craft and business of
writing.
"This year we are making a special effort to attract college-age, young
adult, and career writers. We are also going to try to facilitate some
like-interest support ("critique") groups. When you attend our meetings,
ask one of our Executive Committee members for more information.
Our meetings are free to guests. We just ask that you join when you realize
that our group becoming a great new habit. (Find out more about membership
