Linda Joy Myers founder of National Association of Memoir Writers tells me that Why There Are Words takes place every second Thursday evening of the month in Sausalito, CA!  

“Welcome! This is the place to learn about Why There Are Words, the literary reading series that takes place every second Thursday of the month, at Studio 333 on Caledonia Street in Sausalito, CA, 7 PM, $5 donation at the door.

Each prose (defined as narrative writing other than poetry) reading presents six (6) readers, a combination of those who have published books and those who have not yet. All share the criterion of excellence.
