"Dedicated to the Support & Education of Writers"
Welcome to WGA – a wonderful community of local writers who come together each month to celebrate the art of writing. We aim to create a warm and supportive environment where we can all learn and grow in our craft.
At WGA, this means exciting networking opportunities, engaging workshops, and inspiring talks from motivational speakers. Our monthly gatherings are a true highlight, where we take turns hosting guest speakers one month and enjoy readings the next.
We meet on the last Tuesday of each month (except December) at our familiar location: the South Regional Branch of the Public Library. 6101 Johnston St, Lafayette, LA 70503. Meeting time is 6:00-7:50 PM. See you on June 24th, 2025.
Our literary gatherings are free and open to the public.
