If you are just starting out or have a long-standing career as a writer or illustrator, you are invited to join us. We are a friendly group that provides meet-ups, critique groups, a spring MG/YA writers retreat, a hybrid fall conference and book festival opportunities. Our region includes Long Beach and the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange. We’re all about making connections!
Writers and illustrators are invited to a full day of speaker presentations, critiques, pitches and mingling with fellow creatives! We'll have agents, an editor, an art director, published authors and an illustrator. The event will be Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025 at CSUF and on zoom.
