Since 1994, the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto has pioneered a unique concept: an office for the creative, self-employed people who by definition don’t need to punch a clock. From its beginnings, it’s been a place where narrative artists–writers, filmmakers and the like–welcome the discipline of structure in their work lives, and build a community of peers.

Spend the Day at The Grotto School – Our first-ever fundraiser for 826 Valencia was an enormous success!

We raised $8000 to support the education programs that 826 Valencia provides for elementary and high school students.

Registration for our Winter Session of classes, which begin mid-January, is now open. Click on upcoming classes for a full listing. (Our guest teachers include a NY agent and a NY Times Notable Book author.)
