San Francisco Writers’ Grotto Open House

If you’re a Bay Area writer, be sure to stop by our open house this Thursday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m. The Writers’ Grotto is opening its doors after hours for food, wine, mingling, and a showing of who’s here and what we’re up to. Drop by to hear Grottoites read from their recent books, emceed by former SF Chronicle book review editor Oscar Villalon. Take a glimpse at works-in-progress by browsing our first ever “door party”—each office door will be decked out with excerpts, research, and photos related to the inhabitant’s current project. We’ll have information about Grotto writing classes, a new art exhibit by photographer Sheila McLaughlin titled “Photography From Ireland,” and books for sale! Bring yourself and a friend. 490 2nd St., 2nd Floor, San Francisco.
