The Gloucester Writers Center is a place for working writers in a working town

COVID-19 Update

Covid-19 shuttered the Gloucester Writers Center and the Maud / Olson Library.The pandemic locked the door on these special places devoted to reading, writing and rumination. It put  an end to our intimate gatherings.  It also put an end to all our programming.  We tried telepathy but settled for the virtual. Fish Tales, Open Mic, new classes and our new “Write Way Up: Conversations w/ Writers” are all distributed online via social media for now. We continue to produce programming the engages and educates.  Check our content below!
