| Description: | CCA Memoir Writers Studio
San Francisco summer is the coolest weather in the world, with fog moving like cat's feet through the city's seven hills, and sunshine within reach over the next hill or bridge. Come be inspired at this urban retreat. Schedule The studio schedule includes ample free time for writing, revising, and experiencing the stimulating culture and magnificent natural beauty of the city and Bay Area. Morning (9 a.m.-noon) Sessions are held at CCA's beautiful, new Writing Center. Learn new approaches to getting started and organizing life stories, practice writing from prompts, and discuss assigned short readings by such authors as Paul Auster, Spike Lee, Frances Mayes, Frank Conroy, Pablo Neruda, Elizabeth Bishop, and others. Lunch (Noon-2 p.m.) Discover the range of restaurants and cuisines within walking distance of CCA's San Francisco campus. Afternoon (2-4 p.m.) Talks for writers Evening Explore the night-a list of Bay Area literary readings and cultural events will be provided. Write, revise, read, wander, eat, and rest. Highlights
