THE WRITING ROOM at 100 Men Hall

The 2nd Saturday of each month in 2023, novelist and arts activist Ellen Morris Prewitt will be facilitating a writing group in the Writing Room of the famed 100 Men Hall in Bay St. Louis. The Hall is a rare African American landmark still standing on the Mississippi Blues Trail.

The cost is FREE.

Writing gatherings will run 10:00am-1:00pm and include warmup exercises, mini-instruction, and two half-hour guided writing sessions. Ellen, writer-in-residence at the Hall, has twice been nominated for Pushcart Prizes; a story received a Special Mention. She’s a frequent speaker on writing and creativity and has conducted many writing workshops, including facilitating for eight years a weekly writing group of men and women living on the streets. 

The Writing Room gatherings at 303 Union Street in Bay St. Louis are free and open to the public.
