Our mission: To honor and celebrate Cape Ann’s rich literary legacy, and to empower individuals to engage in the writing and telling of stories in the spirit of civic engagement.

Workshops + groups.

Hone your craft and make connections in a peer-led group or in one of our workshops, led by experienced writers and teaching artists.

Our workshops meet at our home in East Gloucester and at sites throughout the city. Above, a group discusses haiku beside a quarry at Manship, in Lanesville, during National Poetry Month.
