The Insurgent Writers meet at the Sebastopol Senior Center, where they began over a dozen years ago, as a breakaway group, determined to write whatever they wanted to. Our members include published and unpublished authors who take their craft seriously enough to bring fresh material to each weekly meeting and offer constructive and encouraging commentary on each other’s work. Our event will consist of our readers delivering their chosen pieces in round-robin fashion, with about three circuits around the group and a few minutes at the end for questions from the audience.
