MANAGE YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONGroups
The Sun is not affiliated with any group, nor do we provide guidance or oversight. This service exists for the convenience of Sun readers who'd like to meet with others in their communities to discuss the magazine. All contact with group leaders should be Sun-related. No soliciting. Thanks for your cooperation.

This group is for writers of essays and short stories working toward the goal of publishing their material. At the moment we meet for two hours every Friday afternoon, but we are somewhat flexible. Plus we have really yummy snacks!Steven Elliott

Meet the last Wednesday, late afternoon or early evening, of each month in my home or a public location (TBD) to review, share, and engage in lively discussion about The Sun. We may even opt to write our own articles and stories to submit! Bring the most recent issue with you.Sandra
A longtime devoted reader of The Sun, I would like to form a group of readers from Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Aromas, Prunedale, San Martin, Gilroy, and Morgan Hill to meet monthly to discuss the current issue and how the ideas explored relate to our area.

We meet the first and third Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. at the Gypsy Den coffee house in Costa Mesa. Email SunMagazineOC@gmail.com for further information.Paul Belfiglio
If you live in proximity to Laguna Niguel, California, I would like to start a Sun magazine discussion / presentation group. “Presentation” would mean having the option of making a brief presentation about something in a particular month’s Sun magazine that was meaningful to you, then leading a discussion about it. Or, we could just organically enter into a discussion about any particular article in an unstructured manner, or do both! What’s important is that we get to share our sundry views, thoughts, and personalities with congenial people. The intention isn’t to be a singles “possibilities” group, but rather to meet with intellectually motivated, cordial persons.Jessica Lorraine
I'm interested in establishing a Sun discussion group. This could involve a combination of scenarios, such as: communicating via e-mail, starting an online readers/writers group, creating a blog about Sun articles, and possibly meeting monthly with other readers in Mendocino County, California. I’m open to suggestions and seek other Sun readers to volunteer for brainstorming! I live in the Willits-Brooktrails area.

Bay Area Sun reading/writing group meets every third Thursday of the month from 7:30–9:30 p.m., each time at a different member’s home in San Francisco. We spend the first half of the meeting discussing that month’s issue of The Sun, and the second hour writing to a prompt and sharing our words (sharing is optional!).
Michael LaBriola
I'm looking for local Sun readers who want to start a discussion group focused on each month’s issue of The Sun or a more general book club focused on fiction. A variety of ages, genders, and ethnicities would be welcomed and are encouraged.Ruth Starr

I would love to start a group in or near the West Valley / Topanga area for Los Angeles Sun friends. Coffee shops would probably be the meeting spots for writers and like-minded thinkers.
