"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.
Our literary gatherings are free and open to the public.
Events and Opportunities
April 29 is Speaker Night
Our member Andre Guirard will host a fascinating event: Create an author website in one hour. This is a live demo that will be helpful to many of us wanting our own site, but unsure of the time and cost to make one.
I grew up in the country near St. Martinville, lived in Minnesota for many years doing computer stuff, and returned to Louisiana after retirement to be near family and old friends. Besides writing books, I now occupy myself creating art and managing a worldwide map of Free Little Art Galleries, where anyone can come and leave art for others to admire, or find things they love to bring home. I also design websites for myself and others, as a volunteer.​
