Do you want to learn strategies to find and grow your writing community? Do you want to hear about how to make writing communities work for you in your current practice?

Come along to Carss Park Life Saving Hall to hear from our latest Artist in Residence, speculative fiction and crime author Maureen Flynn, about the ways she has found, cultivated and been part of various writing communities to enhance her writing and her writing practice.

During this one-hour talk, you will hear about real life strategies and examples so you can connect with the right communities for your writing goals. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.

After her talk, Maureen will launch her latest Young Adult fantasy novel, Island of Spirits. She will share with the audience how she conceived this story, her writing process, and give a reading from the book. Copies of her book will be on sale and Maureen will be available for book signings.
