Join us for our monthly gathering!

“All About the Gratitude”

Wednesday, November 5, 2025, from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

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!

Join us for our next meeting where we’ll explore the theme of gratitude. What does it mean to you? What doesn’t is mean to you? We’ll practice and share our writing based on “gratitude” prompts. 


No experience necessary. Bring something to write with, and bring a friend! Writers 18+ from all backgrounds, regardless of experience, are welcome! 


Register now!

 
Come to write, come to learn, or just come to listen. Bring a friend and let’s inspire one another! For more information, email [email protected] 

Did you  miss our October meeting on tense and point of view? Resources for that session can be found here.

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.
