inspire local writers throughout the Gulf Coast regional area. From
individuals who dream of writing their very first story or poem, to
experienced published authors, GCWA attracts members who equally share
in the joy of the written word.
- All of our officers are volunteers from our local
community, and participate out of love
and dedication to the craft of writing. We operate as a
not-for-profit organization. The funds collected cover our operating and
publishing expenses.
- The Gulf
Coast Writers Association invites you to
participate in an interesting, informative, and inspiring organization.

The Magnolia

variety of writing topics, from creative writing to how to publish your
work. The articles are informative and written by a variety of
professionals in the writing & publishing fields. Updates on our
local events, as well as information on many national and local writing
contests are also included.
- One of the most important
aspects of our Magazine is to give our
members a forum to have their work published. Our Editor welcomes
original poetry & stories of reasonable length submitted by our
members. Manuscripts received will be respectfully managed. In addition,
many of the works submitted will also be included in our "Featured
Submissions" section of our newly formed Web site.
