San Diego Writers, Ink

San Diego Writers, Ink nurtures writers and those wishing to explore the craft of writing, fosters a literary community, promotes literature and celebrates artistic diversity.

We hang our literary hats at The Ink Spot, a bright and creative space in downtown San Diego’s East Village. Here writers and artists and those who love literature gather for literary events and art exhibitions. But The Ink Spot isn’t the only place we gather. We’re an enthusiastic collaborator with many artistic, cultural, and community organizations and join with others throughout the city and county in promoting literature and creating community.

Want to find out what's happening at The Ink Spot and elswhere? Check out all our events in the Programs link or at our online Calendar.

We've just started a writers discussion group online. Grab a cup of coffee and join moderator Jenn Simpson and SDWInksters at San Diego Writers Online.
