Next Meeting

15th Annual HSWC Awards Ceremony, May 16, 2026

Join Tri-Valley Writers on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at the La Quinta Inn Dublin as we celebrate the winners of the 15th annual “My Story, My Vision” high school writing contest. High school students in Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon submitted works in fiction, poetry, or nonfiction. As writers know, and as TVW Member Patricia Boyle once said, “It takes great courage for students to submit writing to strangers to evaluate and comment on it. I’m proud of the students who entered the contest and took the risk of sharing their work.” So come support local high school students’ successes as the winners receive their awards and read their submissions.
This event is free and open to the public. While there is no fee for the meeting, we would like to know how many people to expect, so please register at: Treasurer by Thursday, May 14, 2026. Snacks and beverages will be provided.

General News

The Board of Tri-Valley Writers has determined that until we “fill the volunteer pipeline,” the branch will be limited in providing all of the programs and events it has in the past. For the July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 term, members will receive: monthly networking and writing time meetings, critique groups, a quarterly newsletter, continued access to Zoom links for critique meetings, Sit Down and Write sessions, Author Support, and other programs, Pull Up a Chair and Write sessions at Inklings in Pleasanton, opportunities to support teen writers through the high school writing contest, and ramping up of the TVW website to include Member bio pages and other pages of interest.

Even with a reduced program, TVW offers local writers the best opportunity to connect with other local writers.
