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.
