Attention authors, writers, and aspiring writers!

The California Writers Club has formed and chartered a new branch in the south part of California’s Central Coast. The Coastal Dunes Branch meets in Nipomo, on the border of San Luis Obispo County and Santa Barbara County. Anyone can attend our monthly meetings, workshops, or other sponsored events for free.

The California Writers Club’s overall mission is to educate writers of all levels of expertise in the craft of writing and the marketing of their work. In keeping with that educational mission, the Coastal Dunes branch’s focus: Practicing the Craft of Writing. In our monthly meetings, we offer speakers and facilitators who guide us in writing, allowing us to learn from them and one another.

Please join us at the Nipomo Library for our free presentations; we’d love to see you!

Our next meeting is Saturday, November 02, 2014, at the Nipomo Library     

November 2nd meeting: Our 10th Anniversary Celebration!                            

Speaker: Catherine Kitcho Topic: Celebrating Ten Inspiring Years of Coastal Dunes CWC: A Look Back at Our History and Successes

 As Founder and unofficial “Historian” for Coastal Dunes CWC, Catherine Kitcho will take us on a trip down memory lane, to highlight the inspired accomplishments of “the little branch that could.” She will tell the rather serendipitous story of how the branch was started, and explain our relationship with the state-level CWC.

Catherine will go through the “names and numbers” of our remarkable ten-year history: charter members, membership stats, branch officers, speakers, and members’ publishing achievements. With many photos, she will illustrate our successes with local publicity; our publications like newsletters and anthologies; and special events, like our writing contest with Nipomo High School.

This is a celebration of what you, the members, have accomplished In an incredible ten years!                                Please join us!  And there will be cake….
