The publishing journey looks different for everyone. This month, prolific, award-winning author and poet David Reid Brown will share his experiences and lead us in writing. 


Whether you write poetry, prose, or some other genre, you’ll leave with takeaways you can incorporate in your writing. Come to write, come to connect, or just come to listen! Writers 18+ of all experience levels are welcome!

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.
