Friendship, support, information, inspiration…  Whether you've never written a story or have been published several times, you'll find something to gain by attending a SCBWI schmooze.

The aim of our schmooze is to be a forum for sharing and learning, a source of inspiration throughout the year, and a place to make contacts for ever-helpful critique groups.

We welcome writers of every stripe--poets and novelists, nonfiction writers, magazine contributors, and picture book author/illustrators. We welcome people interested in attending just one meeting or those looking for a regular community of writers. We welcome anyone interested in writing for kids.

The longest-running schmooze in the region, the Westside Schmooze meets the second Wednesday of the month at the Fairview Branch Library Community Room, 2101 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. Our meetings are in association with the Fairview Branch Santa Monica Library.
