2023 Sierra Writers Conference

The 2023 Sierra Writers Conference celebrates the 20^th anniversary of Sierra College Press and Standing Guard, its landmark book of stories about Japanese internment during WWII. This year’s conference draws on the talent of a diverse group of speakers to expound and provide instruction on stories of social justice, environmental concerns, and the craft of writing. Our event will be held both in-person and online from February 8^th through the 16th. We have many talented writers presenting workshops and speaking: Maxine Hong Kingston, Kim Stanley Robinson, Paul Tran, and many more. General admission tickets are $65. See our website for more information. https://sierrawritersconference.wordpress.com/sierra-writers-conference-2023/.

Holiday Party

Members and guests enjoyed themselves at the Holiday Party on December 10th at Cattlemens Restaurant in Rancho Cordova. All enjoyed a bounteous meal and entertainment that included songs, a White Elephant gift exchange, drawings for free books, and sharing of personal achievements and goals. We were grateful for the opportunity to mix and mingle with friends old and new after such a long time apart.
