Yearly dues are $25. Sign up for our monthly newsletter, “La Plume,” which will be emailed. It contains valuable information about tips on writing, upcoming events, workshops, and WGA news.
​Meetings are open to the public, and typically held at the South Regional Branch of the Library, 6101 Johnston, Laf, LA. Our agenda usually features a guest speaker one month and a member reading program the next month. We start at 6 p.m. and usually end around 7:30 p.m.
Guests are encouraged. Find a seat, relax, and prepare for an interesting and motivational night. Our monthly speakers come in various categories: published authors, illustrators, poets, historians, children’s authors, motivational speakers, travel writers, bloggers, writers of memoirs, and more.
We are looking forward to meeting you! Please bring a friend and help us spread the news.
