It's here! The ninth edition of The Guilded Pen is here. Strange Happenings is a collection of poetry, essays, memoirtales, and imaginative short storiesby authors drawing inspiration from life on the California coast, people and places as far afield as South Africa, or locales that exist only in the authors’ imaginations. Whether chronicling life in the ordinary or teetering on the fringes of the bizarre,Strange Happenings challenges the mundane, embraces the surreal, and stretches the imagination beyond earthly realms.

This is one of the most exciting posts I've had to share. The San Diego City Council named October 26, 2020, as San Diego Writers and Editors Guild Day. It corresponds to the date of the launch of our anthology this year, The Guilded Pen: Strange Happenings. And tonight, at our meeting, we will celebrate with one of the contributors to the anthology, Richard Lederer, as he presents Fascinating Facts about Our Presidents.

A word-challenged man learns that the power of positive thinking can boost his potential. The Strange Happenings #anthology is now on pre-sale. #Writers #poetry #Reading #sandiego @SDWritersGuild @Curconfess https://sdwritersguild.org/anthology-2/ "
