Ms Joanne Macgregor will be the guest speaker at the next Writers 2000 meeting on August 27.
Ms Macgregor will speak on her publishing journey so far as well as the pros and cons of self-publishing versus traditional approaches to this challenging issue.
When not writing, she is a counselling psychologist in private practice where she works mainly with victims of crime and trauma. Although she lives in the frenetic big city, Ms Macgregor has always been in love with nature, and escapes into the wilds whenever she can. She’s a Harry Potter fanatic, bakes the best choc-chip cookies, and is “addicted to chillies and bulletproof coffee”.
She started her professional life as a high school English teacher and loves writing about and for teens. She is also the author of several books for young adults.
The meeting will take place at the usual monthly venue of the Inyoni Creek Clubhouse, corner of Wordsworth and Modderfontein roads, Lyndhurst at 1.30pm for 2pm. There is a door fee of R20 payable by visitors.
