About Us

Since its beginnings in 2001, Ludington Visiting Writers (LVW) has realized three major accomplishments – 1) bringing cultural and economic enrichment to a small, culturally-underserved Michigan town, 2) providing a lively forum for Michigan poets and writers, and 3) providing support and encouragement to local writers.    

LVW is committed to Michigan poets and writers.  Under the direction of founder/director George Dila, LVW has brought over 80 noted Michigan poets, fiction and creative nonfiction writers to Ludington for readings , writers conferences, poetry festivals, and local outreach to schools and libraries. LVW's conference and festivals draw participants and audiences from across the state.  We also publish Driftwood, a literary review dedicated to Michigan poets and fiction writers.
