About

Mission Statement

The Mt. Diablo CWC Branch is one of over twenty branches of the California Writers Club (CWC), a statewide, nonprofit organization. We are dedicated to educating members and the public, via speakers, workshops, and special programs, in the art and craft of writing, publishing, and marketing their works. In addition, the Mt. Diablo Branch is proud to encourage young writers in our community through our annual county-wide, middle school writing contest.

As an organization of professional writers, we encourage our members to:

dedicate themselves to their writing
hone their craft
support each other’s work and publishing successes at all levels
become actively involved in the organization
embrace a positive spirit of cooperation

Both published and non-published guests and the public are welcome at branch meetings.

General Meetings and Workshops are held the second Saturday of each month, except July and August.

Beginning September 2022, we will no longer provide “hybrid* meetings. This is subject to changes due to the pandemic or other unforeseen events. *We reserve the right to offer Zoom-only meetings, as necessary.

Meetings will be in person at:

Zio Fraedo’s Restaurant
611 Gregory Lane
Plesant Hill, CA

Our meetings and workshops are open to the public. A buffet lunch is included. See the Meetings/Workshops page to register.
