Join your writing peers as they lead workshops on the techniques of writing.

Let's celebrate the end of summer with a (virtual) block party for writers! Bring a treat for yourself and gather with other writers to share this chaotic season for writers! Our block party is for writers and those suffering from a little writers block - the dreaded virus infecting our pens, our keyboards and our muse. Learn some simple techniques for blasting through these blocks!

This event is hosted by the San Mateo Library and facilitated by Sam Kauffman, a singer, songwriter, and recording artist who has adjudicated many vocal competitions. She has performed with the San Francisco Family Theater and produced and directed musical theater performances. She is a roster artist with NEAG as well as a published author, composer, dramatist, lyricist, and musician. Find out more at www.aservantsheartministryandmusic.com

AGENDA:

11:00 a.m. - Main Speaker Pauline Wiles

MAIN SPEAKER: Websites That Wow Readers
How to create or update your online home

Pauline Wiles will discuss:

- When is the ideal time to create your author website? … and why it might be sooner than you think.
- How technology is becoming simpler and more affordable, whether you want to build your first website, or switch your existing site to a new platform.
- How to evaluate technology choices: an easy guide for technophobes!
- Identifying the one clear call to action your website must deliver.
- Trends for 2020 in website design; how to avoid a site that looks dated.
- Smart questions to ask before you hire a website designer.

Pauline is an indie author with 5 (almost 6) books published. Her day job is helping authors and writers create simple, stylish websites. She noticed others were often overwhelmed by this task, so she’s on a mission to dispel some of the myths around how difficult – and costly - a web project should be. Her professional resume includes teaching computing to adults on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as desktop support, entrepreneurship education, and marketing analysis.

Are you a writer?

Would a supportive community of other writers help you when you need ideas as to how to get over a problem with your work or just feel overwhelmed, blocked, or stressed from the solitary nature of the trade?

You’re not alone.

FAW is a mutual support group. We’re helping each other push projects through to completion.

Fremont Area Writers is the Centennial Branch of the California Writers Club.

The California Writers Club is one of the nation’s oldest professional clubs for writers, founded in 1909. We are a nonprofit education corporation with eighteen branches in California. Our organization is dedicated to educating writers of all levels and disciplines in the craft of writing and in the marketing of their work.

Here at Fremont Area Writers we sponsor on-going projects to help our members advance their skills and learn how to complete, market, sell and promote our books and articles.

By encouraging participation in California Writers Club events we encourage the development of contacts with other publishing industry professionals.

During our meeting we always recognize members who have reached milestones in their work or won awards.

In the fifteen minutes before each meeting and during the break between the Speaker, members mingle and catch up with each-other’s work.

At each monthly meeting, after our membership business is complete, we host a variety of industry professionals who share information on topics ranging from “How to Create an Opening Paragraph” (so compelling that your reader won’t be able to put your book down) to “Understanding the Laws and Basic Contractual Concepts Authors Need to Know”

Check under Upcoming and Past Events for past and future speakers and their topics.

On the Fourth Monday evening of each month, (7PM) anyone can come to Suju’s Coffee on Thornton in Fremont to read from their own work and request suggestions from other authors as to how to fix problems or get past roadblocks.

Once your book is published, you’ll want to become active in our Book Signings, where authors read from, sell and sign their books at local venues.

Sound good? Then come! Be our guest at our next meeting on the fourth Saturday of the Month at 2PM (excepting July and December). There’s no charge.

We hope to see you there, but even if you decide to go it alone, best wishes to you and your project from all of us.
