The California Writers Collective (CWC) began in 2005 by a network of authors who came together from the San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles areas to educate the public on the various aspects of writing and publishing.

The California Writers Collective conducts writers workshops providing information on manuscript writing, publishing alternatives, where and how to copyright a creative project, and how to successfully market a book. We also discuss trends in the publishing industry useful to our attendees.

Our diverse network of authors effectively address a wide range of topics providing answers to questions for aspiring writers interested in getting their work published. Book signings are often held in conjunction with the workshops.

It is our hope to encourage and inspire as many new and beginning writers as possible! All California Writers Collective writer's workshops are free and open to the public. Please visit our workshop page for more information.
