Publishers and Writers of San Diego (aka PWSD) is a nonprofit trade organization focusing on the business of publishing. We emphasize upholding professional standards, regardless of how a work is brought to market, and learning together about this constantly changing business. PWSD has been a forum for education, networking, and motivation since 1994. Originally founded as The San Diego Publishers
Alliance, the group’s members come from all areas of publishing and writing — authors, independent or self publishers, editors, book packagers, designers, consultants, promotional professionals, students, and more. Because of its established presence and history, PWSD is recognized throughout the publishing community as a valuable organization whose members contribute greatly to the benefit of our profession.
