PML Writes is a writing program held at the library every first & third Monday of each month, from 4:30pm-5:30pm starting January 20th, 2025.
We are a writing group dedicated to bringing together writers and authors in Gillespie County and the surrounding areas.
All skill levels welcome! We look forward to bringing in beginners as well as seasoned, published writers, whether it be in prose, poetry, or anything else.
Bring in your work for feedback, share your accomplishments, and make writing a little less lonely!
If you have any questions, please call the library or email library@gillespiecounty.org.
