GCWA Write & Sip June 2024

This month's genre is Crime, and we are excited to have Special Guests and local authors, Megan Norris and Poppy Gee.

Megan Norris is a freelance writer, author and journalist. Over the past two decades she has covered some of the country's biggest newsbreaks, writing major world exclusives on everything from the Port Arthur Massacres, the Bali Bombings, to behind the scenes stories from Melbourne's Underworld Wars and a procession of high profile court cases. Her books Look What You Made Me Do and Out of the Ashes won Best Nonfiction of 2017 and 2023 respectively, at the Sisters in Crime Australia Davitt Awards.

Poppy Gee is the author of two riveting crime mysteries set in Tasmania, where she grew up. She has worked as a journalist, editor, book reviewer and journalism/creative writing teacher and holds a master’s degree in creative writing from the University of Queensland.

Both women will share from their varied experience to help us unravel the burning mysteries we can’t wait to get onto paper.

Reserve your spot now for an evening of prose and pinot, prosecco, or pink lemonade.
