Gather 50





Please join us for the hybrid edition of MWPA’s beloved GATHER event series! On Wednesday, March 15, 2022 at 6:00 PM, MWPA members & friends can attend an in-person Gather at one of several locations around the state OR chose an online Gather, hosted by a writer (or pair of writers) in one of two general categories—Poetry or Prose.

To sign up for an online Gather, click the RSVP link under the genre group you’d like to attend below. On the afternoon of the Gather date, you’ll receive an email with a link to join your Gather on Zoom.

To join an in-person event, find the most convenient location below, and gather with us!

Please note: A couple of our regular Gather locations will not be meeting this month, some new Gathers have begun or rejoined the mix, and the Damariscotta Gather will be meeting online. Please check the details below very closely. You can reach out to your local Gather host for questions and concerns surrounding COVID protocols and precautions, and we encourage you to join an online Gather if in-person events become unsafe or inaccessible for you. For more information, contact Samara at: samara@mainewriters.org.

About GATHER: GATHER encourages members (and their friends!) to meet and mingle with fellow members in locations around Maine for camaraderie and conversation. There is no agenda to GATHER besides getting together with your community of fellow writers to talk writing, reading, and life.

While GATHER events are not open readings, manuscript exchanges, or organized writing-prompt sessions, they are opportunities for literary-minded folks to meet and plan any of those things, and more. Food and drink available for purchase.
