"Dedicated to the Support & Education of Writers"
Welcome to WGA – a wonderful community of local writers who come together each month to celebrate the art of writing. We aim to create a warm and supportive environment where we can all learn and grow in our craft.
At WGA, this means exciting networking opportunities, engaging workshops, and inspiring talks from motivational speakers. Our monthly gatherings are a true highlight, where we take turns hosting guest speakers one month and enjoy readings the next.
We meet on the last Tuesday of each month (except December) at our familiar location: the South Regional Branch of the Public Library. 6101 Johnston St, Lafayette, LA 70503. Meeting time is 6:00-7:50 PM. See you on June 24th, 2025.
Our literary gatherings are free and open to the public.
Coming Up on July 29: Prompt Competition
Topic: Summer Memories. Genre: Memoirs
JUNE: Speaker John Cavalier
John Cavalier, alongside his wife Michelle, owns and operates Cavalier House Books. John mostly operates the business side of things, but he has a hand in everything that goes on here. He would rather read a book about the science of sound than a New York Times bestseller any day.
Michelle, alongside her husband John, owns and operates Cavalier House Books. As the store's primary buyer, she knows our shelves like the back of her hand. Michelle hates Hemingway, loves Bukowski, and generally prefers a book in which bad things happen.
