Whensday People is a writers’ group for speculative fiction writers in the San Francisco Bay area.

The Whensday People meet twice per month at member homes. We are sometimes open to new members on a space-available by-audition basis. While we have critiqued works in all aspects of speculative fiction (and the occasional piece that is not), we tend toward hard SF.

At the beginning of each workshop, we go around the room and catch up with each others’ lives briefly. Then we critique the manuscripts at hand. Novels are generally critiqued 1-2 chapters at a time; shorter works in their entirety.

Whensday People is a group of well-established writers; many of our group have had professional sales in-genre, and one member has been nominated for a Hugo award.
