Walton Writers hosts three on-going events here at MWCA, especially geared toward writers -- from budding writers to published authors. These meetings are free and open to the public. Joining Walton Writers MeetUp group is recommended so you'll get updates and reminders about their meetings.

MONDAY WRITE-IN: Every Monday from noon to 3 pm. Drop in and stay as long as you like for writing inspiration, encouragement and support! No formal instruction provided in this free creative gathering. Very informal, come as you are, come when you can. Bring something you are working on. Critique groups welcomed. Open to anyone interested in writing. A quiet place to work on your craft.
