If you haven't made any plans for Sunday afternoon, don't stress! We've got you covered.

Tune in to 107.3 Heritage FM at 2PM for CIRCLE SUNDAY SESSION. Joining your host, Valerie, will be GWC's chairperson, Lynne Tatam.
They'll be chatting about our fabulous anthology launch party last Sunday.

What? You didn't know we'd launched another anthology? Oh my good golly goshness, you must tune in to hear all about it.
The anthology's fabulous title is THE SMILING QUILL, and it's jam-packed with incredible short stories, flash fiction, memoirs, and poems — all written by our super-talented members. Lynne promises to read a few excerpts on Sunday, so don't miss it.

What a great afternoon we had at Laker's Tavern in Thornlie today, launching our 2026 anthology, THE SMILING QUILL.

Sincere thanks to everyone who attended, especially City of Gosnells councillor, Glenn Dewhurst, and author Tabetha Rogers-Beggs, who officially launched our anthology.

Special thanks must be given to our Editor-in-Chief, Valerie Latimour, who did an amazing job editing, typesetting, and publishing the book.

Thanks to all of our committee and members who assisted in planning and organising today's event.

And last but certainly not least, many thanks to all of our members who wrote beautiful stories, memoirs and poems for this amazing collection. You're an awesome bunch of people!

As we always say, Gosnells Writers Circle is SO much more than just a writing group!
