The 3-Minute Writers & Readers Survey
The Gloucester Writers Center (GWC) is seeking community advice on how we might best strengthen and support 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.” We would appreciate your response to a short survey to help guide the GWC in future programming and enable us to focus on what best serves the community. Your continued support of the GWC (a 501.c3 non-profit organization) is valued and instrumental in guiding our work. The results of the survey will be shared on our website (https://www.gloucesterwriters.org) and in our newsletter. You may sign up for the newsletter at gloucesterwriters@gmail.com.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Watch the 14th Annual Charles Olson Lecture
The Olson Lecture began in 2010 when the Gloucester Writers Center invited Diane di Prima to Gloucester. The local UU Church generously offered its space for the reading, and that evening marked the beginning of what has since grown into a remarkable collaborative series with the Cape Ann Museum.
In this lecture we hear from Amanda Cook, James Cook, and David Rich.
We help people tell their own stories.
Help us continue our mission.
Today, we are asking our community to help sustain all that we do—and to uphold our commitment that no one is turned away for lack of funds.
For the last four years, we have been blessed by the support of a major grant from a dear friend of the GWC. That grant ends this coming year. To ensure our future, we must make adjustments to live within our means, and we must widen the circle of friends who care about our mission. Reach out and get involved! We would love to have you!
