Special Speaker Events (SSE) presented by the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society
offer a wealth of educators, nationally-known authorities, industry
experts, agents, publishers and famous authors. It is a terrific opportunity
to learn about the craft and business of writing from the best voices
of the day. While GLAWS sometimes focuses on specific genres, most topics
are broad-based and provide valuable information for all writers. (Pictured here is Ray Bradbury addressing a SRO attendance.)
 GLAWS
welcomes writers of all genres of writing and levels of expertise.
We also welcome those who support the writing community whether you're
an industry professional or fan of writing. Admission at the library
is always free. Non-members, please register/check-in at the
door to receive a guest badge. RSVP for preferred seating.

This is an opportunity to meet and mingle with your fellow writers, plus meet some of our executive officers and committee chairs who can share the many opportunities of our dynamic society with you. Anyone who has joined within the last 18 months is welcome. Most of all, we want you to feel welcome by your peers and enjoy your new membership.
We will also have time for a few “Open Mic” readings, so if you want to share some of your work, bring a five (5) ± minute polished excerpt. |

What is the difference between a copyright and a trademark? When is my work protected? What can I legally deduct from my taxes as a writer -- even if I’m not published, yet? When do I need a literary agent and how do I catch one’s attention. What are my responsibilities after signing? What alternatives do I have if a publisher wants all the domestic, international, Ebook, Audio, and Film rights to my work? How do I protect my work Online, or in a writing group? What are the dos and don’ts of publishing and self-publishing?
Learn the answers to these important questions and more from this distinguished panel of industry experts, including an entertainment industry attorney who has worked for major studios on over 60 motion pictures and series for CBS/Viacom and Fox. No matter what you are writing, this is an event you must attend! Arrive early to network with other writers and industry professionals, and learn more about other GLAWS programs of benefit to writers. The panel will also take questions.
