General News

The Board of Tri-Valley Writers has determined that until we “fill the volunteer pipeline,” the branch will be limited in providing all of the programs and events it has in the past. For the July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 term, members will receive: monthly networking and writing time meetings, critique groups, a quarterly newsletter, continued access to Zoom links for critique meetings, Sit Down and Write sessions, Author Support, and other programs, Pull Up a Chair and Write sessions at Inklings in Pleasanton, opportunities to support teen writers through the high school writing contest, and ramping up of the TVW website to include Member bio pages and other pages of interest.

Even with a reduced program, TVW offers local writers the best opportunity to connect with other local writers.
