Thanks to the writers and artists who participated in the collaboration with the Artists' Coop of Mendocino. On October 17th, sixteen members of the Writers of the Mendocino Coast read from a piece crafted to respond to an artist's work or crafted to provide inspiration for an artist, whose work was projected onto a screen.
We are grateful to the Mendocino Hotel for use of the Garden Room.

Member Mary Ellen Goggin and Jerry Duberstein published a book, Relationship Transformation, Have Your Cake and Eat it Too, this year.
The husband and wife team show readers how to honor their separate selves while building joyful lifelong relationships. Mining the gold from Duberstein's forty years as a therapist, and Goggin’s 35 years as a relationship coach, life coach, educator, lawyer, and mediator, RELATIONSHIP TRANSFORMATION provides the tools for couples to gain awareness of what drives them, what holds them back, and how to re-envision their relationship.

Welcome to the Mendocino Coast branch of the California Writers Club founded in 1909. We are proud to share in this legacy.
The Writers of the Mendocino Coast meet in the Mendocino Hotel at 6:00 pm on the third Wednesday of every month (except November because it's the night before Thanksgiving day.) We host speakers, workshops, open mics and other yet to be discovered events and activities.
Our intention is to expand the network and opportunities for writers here on the Mendocino Coast. We hope you'll join us. For Members - WRITERS GROUP CLEARING HOUSE
The California Writers Club fosters professionalism in writing and promotes networking of writers with the writing community. All genres and writing styles are supported. In order to provide an environment where members can obtain critique of their efforts, a clearing house has been established.
Please send a description of your writing experience and genre, the frequency of meeting you would like, and other information you consider pertinent. We will connect you with other members. [email protected] Send Your NewsMEMBERS : When your writing is published or receives a nomination
or award, please send a short announcement to writersmendocinocoast@gmail.com We'll include it in the newsletter and on this website. Member Stasha Ginsburg published her book, Girltruth from the Belly, this year.
Baba Yaga says, “What will you turn up with, bones or butter?" After escaping from her small town problems, our heroine meets the Devil in Moscow. Myth and cold hard truth guide her out of the belly of the wolf. Teenage chaos and cultural awakenings are woven with Little Red Riding Hood, Vasalisa the Brave, and many more. This coming of age adventure reads like a Russian nesting doll, opening story upon story: from an isolated Midwestern town into the heart of the Russian transition from Communism to Democracy. "Ni Boyitsya devuskha, eto tolka dusha. (Don’t be afraid girl, it’s just the soul.)”
