No man is an island, and no writer should go it alone. Joining a writing community, such as a writer’s workshop, critique group, or co-working space, can not only offer inspiration and companionship, but also ongoing feedback from other writers who can improve your craft. We’ve gathered leaders from Bay Area Queer Writers Association (BAQWA), Left Margin Lit, The Ruby, Write Now! SF Bay, and the San Francisco Writers Workshop to talk about how you can take advantage of the rich literary communities in the Bay Area.
