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 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.
