 Featuring Facilitators Heidi Shalloway and Valerie Forde-Gavin

To register, we ask that you make a small donation of $5 to nonprofit Louisa Arts Center which has kindly offered us space for our programs. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you!

Come one, come all! Our June workshop will be led by Heidi Shalloway, leader of “Writers Unite” at the James Madison Regional Library in Louisa, and Valerie Forde-Galvin, leader of the Montpelier Writers Group at the Montpelier Branch Library. They bring their unique brand of writers’ prompts to our group. Expect to be challenged, but also expect lots of zany fun!

Register now!

Each month, you will also have the chance to connect with local and visiting writers and:
  • Share your author business card, if you have one!
  • Contribute to and peruse our book Giveaway table!
  • Have your writing featured!

        

Come to write, come to learn, or just come to listen. Bring a friend and let’s inspire one another!

Who We Are

Founded 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) in the Purcell Gallery 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.
