Special Speaker Events (SSE) of the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society offer a wealth of educators, nationally-known authorities, industry experts, agents, publishers and famous authors. It 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 specific genres, most topics are broad-based and provide valuable information for all writers.

GLAWS welcomes writers of all genres and levels of expertise. We also welcome those who support the writing community whether you're an industry professional or fan of writing. Admission at the library is always free. We request you register/check-in at the door to receive a name badge. RSVP for preferred seating.
