Northern Beaches Writers’ Group – In The News – Twice!!

I’m so proud of *my* writers – the members of the Northern Beaches Writers’ Group.

I’m proud of them because they come from many different backgrounds and bring a wealth of experience to their stories. Some of them write crime, romance or speculative fiction, some write children’s, young-adult or teen fiction, while others write biographies, histories, non-fiction books or manuals – it’s a real range and you wouldn’t think there’d be any common ground. Yet there is – a passion for writing and using it to bring smiles to readers’ faces (sometimes tension or horror too!).

I’m also proud of them when I see them in the news, and today our WABIAD members are in it twice – both in the Manly Daily and The Daily Telegraph. Go team!
