Hoyas in Letters

Hoyas in Letters is an exciting alumni initiative that connects and engages members of the Georgetown community who are passionate about words and the power of writing. This initiative is expansive, reflecting the changing landscape of various industries when it comes to the written word – newspapers, magazines, digital and social media, screenwriting, and of course, book publishing. Special focus will be on authors, literary agents, and editors, and events include an ongoing writers workshop series and author book talks. Hoyas in Letters was founded by Allison Gilbert Weintraub (C’92) and Moira Bailey (C’80).
