Community Writers (formerly Community Reading Series)

The Community Reading Series has a new name! They are now Community Writers.

 They also have an expanded schedule meeting year-round on every 4th Saturday from 2:30-4:30 pm, at our same location, the Porter Memorial Library on 3050 Porter Street in Soquel. We have the same format of open mike for prose writers and poets (sign-up to read at 2:30 pm), with regular featured readers.

Several wonderful members of Community Writers have helped us take this big step forward: special thanks to Cate Munch and Jerry Simpson for their insights and wonderful service; to Wilma and John Chandler for helping schedule our 2015 featured readers; to Jennifer Pittman for taking over some of our p.r. duties. And thanks to Beth Svee of the Porter Memorial Library for their help and welcome since day one. Thanks to all.

But mostly thanks to you, our members and regulars who pitch in every time to make our readings happen. ‘Community’ really is our first name. To everyone who comes and reads, helps out or listens – thank you!
