The Muse Writers Center

The Muse Writers Center is the heart of the creative writing community in Southeastern Virginia. We are a sanctuary for writers. We provide a sacred space for learning the craft of creative writing, sharing creative work, and fostering a nurturing environment for personal expression and development where writers come together, share ideas, and experience the power that words can hold. We are professional and compassionate teachers. Our talented and dedicated teachers are working literary artists who meet writers where they are and help them reach their fullest potential. We are committed to diversity. We strive to create, welcome, and celebrate a diverse community of writers, highlight underrepresented voices, and embrace the power of words to offer thoughtful and provocative commentary on diversity in our society. We are community builders. We offer events that foster engagement, intellectual and creative stimulation, and a stronger sense of belonging. We are committed to accessibility and equity for all. We are committed to ensuring that no barriers, financial or otherwise, stand in the way of access to the literary arts. We employ innovative programming, outreach, and technology to serve communities in Hampton Roads and beyond, while constantly striving to adapt to and thrive in the rapidly changing world.
