Helen Fremont on her stay at the GWC
An ideal week. I came here to work on a new memoir, and feel I’ve been able to play intensively in the waves of some very rough material. I’ve gotten boatloads of work done (some of which I actually like!) and I’m looking forward to messing around with it for… oh, ever - or at least the next couple [...]
Ammiel Alcalay’s thoughts on his visit to the GWC in 2011
My stay at the Gloucester Writers House was filled with extraordinary and deeply layered meaning for me. Having spent a lot of time in Gloucester with my family, practically from birth to the mid 1960s, I haven’t had the opportunity since to spend a consecutive block of time in a place that has always [...]

An excerpt from forth coming novella by Resident Writer Shahar Bram
Here's an excerpt from a work-in-progress that I worked on while at the Gloucester Writers Center–it is a novella partly inspired by the surroundings and atmosphere in Gloucester. -Shahar Bram Kids’ laughter came from a distance, the joyous sound of children at play. Their voices rolled through the house like waves, washing his thoughts away. [...]
Intern’s Blog #4
Another week passes here at the GWC, but honestly I think I’ll be talking about the last two weeks in this post, since I sort-of forgot to talk about anything but the “8 Plays for the Price of One” event in my last post. To start with, we were visited by the wonderful writer [...]
