Hear Together: The Muse Writers Center

The Muse Writers Center is Hampton Roads’ very own literary center, and since the early 2000s, they have grown into one of the top-10 writers centers nationally, with a vibrant space in central Ghent featuring five classrooms, a semi-private writers room, a recording studio, a library, and an auditorium for readings and special literary events as well as art exhibits.
