Who we are
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. Our membership includes traditionally published authors, self-published, those working toward publication, and some who are just interested.
We offer exciting networking opportunities, engaging workshops, inspiring talks from motivational speakers, and useful talks from experienced writers and publishing professionals. Our monthly gatherings are free and open to the public. These alternate between hosting guest speakers one month and hearing member readings the next. We also sponsor other activities you can read about below. (MORE)
