The Writers Grotto, a vibrant community for writers in San Francisco, is celebrating its 30th anniversary, providing writers with a supportive environment through classes, resources, and networking opportunities. Founded in 1994, it has grown to include over 175 members ranging from novelists to filmmakers. The Grotto combats the isolation of writing by encouraging collaboration and connection among writers. Future events include a mixer hosted at the Verdi Club featuring music, food, and literary discussions, marking three decades of nurturing the local literary scene.
The Writers Grotto is a unique community of more than 175 writers supporting each other's work and the wider literary world, having emerged in 1994 from a small co-working site.
Writing can be a lonely business; connection with fellow ink-dippers can provide a huge boost, allowing writers to share resources and experiences.
The Grotto's 30th anniversary mixer will feature a festive mixer with music, a historical slideshow, a taco bar, drinks, and literary delights.
I joined the Grotto in 2001 at our old 'cat and dog hospital' spot on Fell Street, after bemoaning my writerly isolation to my editor at Mother Jones.
