Celebrating our 70^th Anniversary  !

We are a professional association whose purpose is to foster, encourage, and educate writers and independent publishers, representing all genres, from all ages, and writing at every stage in their careers.  We offer monthly meetings featuring opportunities to network with other writers, skill-building workshops, and presentations by regionally recognized authors, editors, agents, and publishers.

Our monthly meetings are held on the second Monday of each month from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m at 5501 Dewey Drive, Fair Oaks in the Fellowship Hall (straight back from the road, through the gate in the white fence). Visitors are always welcome.

In addition, we offer less formal Writers’ Mingles where all writers are welcome. Our Mingles currently meet the third Saturday of every month from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Denny’s Restaurant in Roseville (corner of Sunrise and Douglas).

SSWC is also known for its well-designed, professional “critique groups” where other writers provide intensive feedback for various creative works while in progress. Critical revision is often an essential step in creating a successful work.

Our professional library and monthly newsletter provide additional member resources.

Network and share with other writers. Be informed. Be inspired. Join us!

 The Carols of Clockwork Lane

Some writers prefer to start staring at a blank screen. Others need a more concrete starting point. Every month in our SSC Newsletter, we are planning to include a new  “story kit” that gives a writer a scaffolding from which to work. Not a cookbook, but a starting point, a structure to build from and to personalize.

We promise to publish any stories that you create using this story kit.
