Announcing our upcoming

November Writers Forum


In-person monthly gathering. Come experience our new panel discussions and member-to-member knowledge sharing!

Plotting v Pantsing: Writing With and W/O A Plan

You're driving from Palm Springs to New York. You can head east and discover the way as you go, or you can use a GPS or map. Either way, you're going to get there. Join us for a candid conversation about outlining and improvisation, imagination, and how different authors structure their work. For this unique event, we ask pantsers to sit on the left side of the room and plotters to sit on the right. Let the games begin!

Expect to leave with a more decisive attitude.

Moderator: Eduardo Santiago. Presenters: Marly Bergerud and David Cat Cohen.

The meeting begins at 11:00 a.m. and ends at noon. 

This event is free for all members. Registration not necessary.
