What we’re about

ATTENTION AUTHORS! CALL TO ACTION!

GREEN LIGHT!

Yes, it’s a bright green light for writers in Southern California, as we launch DO WRITE!

Come join us for two hours of literary laughter, drama, comedy, fun and adventure, as fellow writers and assorted literati (and perhaps glitterati) share their creativity at the one-and-only THE OPEN BOOK vintage bookstore in happy SIMI VALLEY!

The program:

· Authors read up to 6 pages of their original prose (excerpts from novels, short stories, etc.)

· Screenplay writers bring sufficient copies of their work for distribution to participants ( for each character, plus narrator) for a cold read of up to 12 pages (screenplay format).

· Each group-certified author is encouraged (but not required) to present weekly (a primary purpose of the group: to kick creative types in the butt to produce regularly.) Please inform Linas if you wish to present your work, which will be selected in chronological order.

· Participants engage in evaluative discussion of the presented works. Thirty minutes total allotted for reading and discussion of each work, unless fewer than 4 pieces are brought allowing the time for each to be extended.

· General collegial fellowship and mirth

Participants:
• Writers and authors
• Assorted knowledgeable admirers of literature and cinema.
