I am interested in the creative writing group and am wondering about skill levels (beginner here) and how large the group is. I appreciate all information you can give me. Thank you.
Hi Kathryn, Redwood Coast Writers is an informal, friendly group that welcomes all skill levels. The group ranges from 4-10 people and meets every Tuesday night at 7:30 in the Drawing and Painting Studio at the Ink People. The best way to contact them is just to show up!
