Special Speaker Events (SSE) of the Greater Los Angeles
Writers Society offer a wealth of panels and guest speakers that feature
educators, nationally-known authorities, industry experts, agents, publishers
and famous authors. This is a terrific opportunity to learn about the craft and
business of writing from the best voices of the day. While we sometimes focus
on genre-specific topics, most are broad-based and provide valuable information
for all writers.
GLAWS
welcomes writers of all genres and levels of expertise. First-time admission
is free unless noted.
(As GLAWS is a non-profit, donations are appreciated)
Special Speaker Events are typically held monthly on
the third Saturday ten times a year, unless it is a five-weekend month,
in which case it moves back one weekend to the fourth Saturday. (See
Calendar for specific events) Most SSEs are held at the Palms-Rancho
Park Library in the Ray Bradbury Room, second floor of the library. There is
ample parking, but it does fill up fast, so come early. In addition to the stairs,
there is an elevator for the handicapped.
