Literary Center - Virtual and In person Creative Writing Classes and Events
The Muse Writers Center is Hampton Roads’ very own literary center, and since the early 2000s, we have grown into one of the top-10 writers centers nationally, with a vibrant space in central Ghent featuring five classrooms, two semi-private writers rooms, a library, and an auditorium for readings and special literary events as well as art exhibits. Read our history.
Unlike a college or university, we offer creative writing classes and seminars for beginning, experienced, and professional writers. This year, we are on pace to host 1,500 students in 300 classes for adults, pre-teens, and teen writers.
Because we believe in the transformative power of the literary arts, our aim is to embrace both established and emerging writers as well as those who want to write but haven’t had the opportunity to be guided by great teachers. We would love you to join us.
Each year, we host more than 400 online or in-person literary events, readings, book launches, networking, and social events, writers groups, open houses, open writing days, write-ins, and special events in the Norfolk area. We host events each week, and you are welcome anytime.
Please read our behavior and conduct policies that apply to all event attendees before you attend an event.
Accessibility for Those with Disabilities
