Writing Workshops

Led by

Robert Mayer

Author of 15 books

Continuing -- on Tuesday, January 10th, 2017-- our seventh year of teaching, encouraging, critiquing.

Both novices and more experienced writers are welcome. Sorry, no poetry or screenplays. 
Nine published books have emerged from these workshops.

Eight-week workshops meet one afternoon each week for three hours (Tuesdays.) You write at home, we read and critique your prose when you are ready.

​​Usually no more than five members in a group.


The workshops are held in a studio on San Mateo, near Chocolate Maven. The fee for the 24 hours of class is $325 plus tax, payable at the first session. Lots of parking.
