- California Writers Series
- Begun in 2006, the California Writers Series brings writers to the
CSUB campus each academic year, to give a reading in the beautiful
Dezember Room in the Walter Stiern Library. CWS writers usually live
in or have roots in California. Sponsored by the English Honors
Society, Sigma Tau Delta, the English Department, and various student
groups, the CWS readings are free and open to the public. After the
readings, the audience has a chance to ask the author questions and
engage in discussion of the creative process. Authors then sign books,
which are sold by the independent bookstore, Russo?s Books.
