There is no fee to participate and every qualified person participating in PVLD's National Writing Month will get a copy of the anthology that will be published by PVLD in 2017. Registration is required and to be published and receive the anthology, those registered must attend at least 3 of the 6 scheduled events. Only material written DURING November will be considered for the anthology--any work written before or after November will not be eligible. 

You do NOT have to be registered to attend one of the workshops if you want to come to a workshop without participating in the full National Writing Month program throughout November. 

Registration begins with a face-to-face registration and information session between 1-3:30 p.m. on October 18 at the Peninsula Center Library community room. If you are unable to attend the registration on October 18, you can register by phone or e-mail: 310.377.9584 ext 214 or jpeck@pvld.org...e-mail would work best if you have it. 

The deadline to register is October 31st. 

Each workshop will have a speaker discussing a particular topic while a write-in is a casual gathering where writers will have the opportunity to work on new material and network with other writers. All events will occur at the Peninsula Center Library community room.
