History
The Muse is Hampton Roads' only literary center, and in the past 11 years, we have grown from a small organization that borrowed meeting space from other arts groups to one of the top-10 writers centers nationally, with a new space in central Ghent featuring five classrooms, an office, a library, two semi-private writers rooms, and an auditorium to host youth events and visiting writer events and readings.
Specialties
The Muse Writers Center in Norfolk is Hampton Roads' literary center. We offer creative writing classes and seminars for beginning, experienced, and professional writers-whether they be children, teens, or adults; house a resource center for area writers, and host readings, open mics, and special events. We never turn anyone away because of their financial situation, and we have provided tuition assistance and scholarships to hundreds of people.
