We are a group of writers of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry whose goal is to work with other writers in a collaborative environment to improve our craft. Each week, members bring work to share. Constructive feedback is provided, and members can learn as much by providing feedback as they do from receiving it. For many members, publication is the immediate goal, while others are primarily working to improve their writing. Periodically we have guest speakers on specific topics, most recently, ekphrasis, memoir, dialogue, and flash. We collaborate annually with the Laguna Beach Independent for the Holiday Digest and have done projects with Stu News Laguna, The Festival of the Arts and local galleries. Twice a year we put on Open Mic events. After a successful run of yearly anthologies, Beach Reads, we are moving to an online literary journal platform, The Third Street Review. See https://www.thirdstreetwriters.org for more information.
