The San Francisco Writers Workshop is one of the oldest continuously running writing critique groups in the United States, meeting every Tuesday night, except for major holidays, since 1946. Successful published authors who first workshopped their books in the group include Khaled Hosseini,〔(''The Kite Runner'' by Khaled Hosseini ) Acknowledgments〕 David Henry Sterry, Aaron Hamburger, Joe Quirk, Michelle Gagnon, Kemble Scott, Tamim Ansary, Erika Mailman, Zarina Zabrisky, and Ransom Stephens. Tamim Ansary is the current moderator. The workshop is free and open to all interested writers and genres, providing a forum to share work-in-progress and receive constructive critiques from other writers. The group meets at the Alley Cat Books, near San Francisco's mission district. Sessions are uniquely structured so participants share, aloud, up to six double-spaced pages of their work at a time. Writers are not allowed to speak or respond while the group critiques their work. ==San Francisco Writers Workshop Alumni== Some of the published authors who have emerged from the workshop: ''Note: Partial List - Updates Requested'' *Tamim Ansary, author of ''West of Kabul, East of New York'', ''The Other Side of the Sky: A Memoir'', ''Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes'', ''The Widow's Husband'' *Melodie Bowsher, author of ''My Lost and Found Life'' *Michael Chorost, author of ''Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human'', ''World Wide Mind: The Coming Integration of Humanity, Machines, and the Internet'', *Christine Comaford-Lynch, author of ''Rules for Renegades'' *Michelle Gagnon, author of ''The Tunnels'', ''Boneyard'', ''The Gatekeeper'', ''Kidnap & Ransom'' *Rip Gerber, author of ''PHARMA'' *Stan Golberg, author of ''Lessons for the Living'' *(Yanina Gotsulsky ), author of (''Speed of Life'' ) *Aaron Hamburger, author of ''The View from Stalin's Head'', ''Faith for Beginners'' *Khaled Hosseini, author of ''The Kite Runner'', ''A Thousand Splendid Suns'' *Irete Lazo, author of ''The Accidental Santera'' *Erika Mailman, author of ''Woman of Ill Fame'', ''The Witch's Trinity'' *Shana Mahaffey, author of ''Sounds Like Crazy'' *Elise Frances Miller, author of ''A Time to Cast Away Stones'' *Joe Quirk, author of ''The Ultimate Rush'', ''It's Not You, It's Biology'', ''Exult'' *Kemble Scott, (novelist pen name of Scott James, columnist for The New York Times) author of ''SoMa'', ''The Sower'' *Holly Shumas, author of ''Five Things I Can't Live Without'', ''Love and Other Natural Disasters'' *Ransom Stephens, author of ''The God Patent'' *David Henry Sterry, author of ''Chicken: Self Portrait of a Young Man for Rent'', ''Master of Ceremonies: A Story Story of Sex, Drugs, Roller skates, and Murder'', editor of ''Ho's Hookers, Callgirls, and Rentboys'' *Ian Tuttle, author of ''StretchyHead'' *James Warner, author of ''All Her Father's Guns'' *Zarina Zabrisky, author of (''Iron'' ) and (''We, Monsters'' ) *Amy Zemser, author of ''Beyond the Mango Tree'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Francisco Writers Workshop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
