Fun with Grammar—Avoiding Common Errors
Claudia Hyslop will present on common grammar errors and frequently misused words. It will be a fun evening!
When writing a story or article, do you ever pause and look at a word, wondering if you have used it correctly? For instance, do you know the difference between the meanings of “homed” and “honed”? Many people don’t, so those words are often used incorrectly. Do you know where apostrophes belong? It really isn’t as easy as it may seem. Even highly respected news outlets make punctuation and word usage mistakes. This presentation will help you avoid some of those mistakes.

About Writers Helping Writers at
San Mateo Public Library
The San Francisco Peninsula branch of CWC hosts a Writers Helping Writers program at the San Mateo Public Library on the second Thursday of the month from 6:30 to 8 pm. This event is managed by CWC member David Strom and co-sponsored by Tuula Laine, a librarian at the library and a member of the San Francisco Peninsula CWC.
Each month, CWC SF Peninsula branch members share learned techniques and experiences in their craft. From scoping out your memoir to finding inspiration for a poem to plotting your novel to learning the ins and outs of blogging—we teach what we’ve learned. This is an opportunity for all writers to meet and share their experiences.
Our purpose? To pass on what we’ve discovered to help other writers.
Anyone can attend, free of charge.
