In 2007, the Mérida Writers' Group was started by a group of local authors who aimed to offer support and critique each other's works-in-progress. This endeavor has taken many forms over the past decade and a half, including a series of email-based virtual meetings during the COVID lockdown, and the group now meets regularly at MEL. All writers living in Mérida's vicinity, regardless of level of experience, are welcome to join other like-minded individuals in the classroom at MEL, alternate Wednesdays at 11:00 AM. See our calendar for a schedule and email us for more information.
