Writing Groups
Writing and Discussion Groups are peer-led. Some are run by GWC staff, while others are independent but maintain a close affiliation with (and often meet at) the Center. Each group has its own meeting schedule and membership procedures, noted here.
Interested in starting or leading a writing or discussion group at the GWC? Contact us to start a conversation!

Finish Line
The Finish Line Writers’ Group began in fall of 2011 as an avenue for committed, burgeoning writers to express themselves and their talent in a safe, nurturing environment and take a project over the finish line. The group is meant to be a forum of support and review, both academically and artistically. We occasionally welcome new members in any genre or style of writing.
