Our History
In 1980 or 1981 Lois Cecil-Bisset and John Lawson hosted a monthly writing group with a handful of writers in a little cottage near City Hall. After some time Lois moved away and Sharon Owen, along with others in the group, helped John continue the group, then called the Redding Writing Club. The growing group switched locations several times to accommodate for their increasing numbers. The membership voted to change the name to Writers Forum. In 1996 several dedicated members made the group an official nonprofit organization.
Special thanks to Sharon Owen for her input on this abbreviated history of the Writers Forum. Writers Forum has met in a variety of locations, and has thrived over the years with a remaining handful of charter members and many talented, enthusiastic new folks who bring vitality and new ideas. Writers Forum has served its members well, and its future can only grow brighter as more and more writers join, bringing with them the kind of innovative thinking that inspired Lois Cecil-Bissett and a few others many years ago to organize the area’s writers into one remarkable organization.
