Yuba Sutter's Community For Readers and Writers

ith the ability to read we gain knowledge of the world; with the ability to write we gain knowledge of the self. These two acts constitute a relationship, a conversation, and the groundwork of thinking so very fundamental to health in our world. Welcome to the literary explosion of Northern California. Please join us in the mission: combining the mind opening power of books with the tools and network of a community writing center. Amicus represents a new model for positive community change. The written word is perhaps universally recognized as a force, having the power to shape our perceptions, create our intentions, and reveal our common truths, assumptions, and goals.

ur goal is to promote and advance the literary genius of Marysville, Yuba City, and the surrounding area - to offer opportunities for writers, to educate, to enhance that force inherent in all of us - the creativity of language.
