The Writers’ Corner provides a cache of tools to help SF Peninsula CWC members get published.
- Publications and Small Presses provides publication opportunities created and/or edited by current or former CWC SF Peninsula members. We’re most proud of Fault Zone, founded and edited by branch members and published by Sand Hill Review Press. Standards are high, and this literary magazine offers our members an important means for making their voices heard.
- Literary Magazines lists online and print publications where our members’ work has been published. The list does not include one-time publications such as books, but rather sources that are open to submissions on a regular basis.
- Writing Conferences lists local conferences within 75 miles of our branch meeting location. These conferences give writers an opportunity to improve their skills and meet agents, editors, and other writers. Our branch participates in or attends the conferences listed here.
- Contests lists CWC-sponsored contests and other local contests in which CWC participates.
- Writing Services lists writing-related services provided by CWC SF Peninsula members for a fee.
- Writing Organizations and Associations lists organizations (mostly local) that provide support, information, and networking opportunities.
Congratulations to Korie Pelka, recipient of this year’s Louise Boggess Award. The award is our branch’s top honor and is given each year for outstanding contributions to the club. Korie’s include serving as the board’s secretary between 2018 and 2020, where she helped our meetings run flawlessly and facilitated our twice-yearly board retreats. She hosted Open Mic at the San Carlos Library, helped coordinate two workshops, volunteered at the San Mateo County Fair Literary Stage, and led a Writers Helping Writers program. She continues to host our Thursday evening Shut Up & Write group online and has generously offered to stick around to help with board retreats during the coming year. Thank you, Korie!
