Who We Are

 

Founded in November 2024 by Louisa County, Virginia, author and poet Katherine Mercurio Gotthardt, Write In Louisa (WIL) is a writers group designed for writers ages 18+ with any level of experience, from any background. From published authors to those simply interested in exploring different forms of self-expression, all are encouraged to join our open, friendly group to read, and if desired, receive helpful feedback.

We meet the first Wednesday of the month (unless otherwise specified) at Louisa Arts Center. Donation is $5 + associated fees. All donations support Louisa Arts Center, a nonprofit providing opportunities for the community to explore and enjoy the arts.
