San Francisco Writing for Change November 13, 2010

November 13th and 14th, 8am to 5pm both days

Writers will be essential catalysts in bringing about the changes we need. More than ever, we need writers to help us understand the challenges and opportunities ahead of us and inspire and empower us to do what we can to help bring about change.
