Join us for the final Monthly Network Meeting (MNM) of the season, which includes our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and a talk on Radio for Writers from guest speaker Gwynn Scheltema.

Annual General Meeting (AGM): Help us reflect on another fantastic year of writing, learning, and connecting. The AGM is your opportunity to hear updates from the board, celebrate our accomplishments, and cast your vote in shaping the future of WCDR.

Guest Speaker: Gwynn Scheltema is a writer, poet and facilitator. She has also been a co-host of the Word on the Hills radio program at 89.7 FM since 2013.

Ever wondered how to land radio interviews or what to do once you get one? Gwynn will share practical tips on finding radio opportunities, talking about your book with confidence and clarity, and avoiding common mistakes she has seen writers make. It is a valuable session for any author looking to spread the word about their work.

As always, there will be plenty of time for questions and conversation.
