These literary tours began in 2023 under the auspices of the Gloucester 400+ Literary Committee, and are now being sponsored by the Gloucester Writers Center. Founded in 2010, the Gloucester Writers Center is a working writers’ center in a working town. Each year we host dozens of programs, from open mics and readings to workshops, classes, and writing groups—all in support of our mission:

To honor and celebrate Cape Ann’s rich literary legacy, and to empower individuals to engage in the writing and telling of stories in the spirit of civic engagement.
