With GCLS Con in MSP just over 2 weeks away, I’m so stoked to see our new Writing Academy grads and alums! It’ll be great to catch up with my classmates again and get to know more of the rest of you. Safe travels, everyone! #gclswa2024#gcls

There are 216 days until our 20th Annual Conference, but there are only 40 days left to grab an early bird ticket. Join us in celebrating our anniversary in the Twin Cities July 10-14. bit.ly/GCLS2024

Hey, just want to let y’all know that there’s an option to do a monthly auto-draft amount too rather than just a one-time donation. I know this helped me give more given my tight budget.

You’re very welcome. Thank you for submitting ideas! I love it when our community drives the Con content.

I should qualify: there can’t be wildlife in the water that are likely to kill me. You know piranhas, crocodiles, hippos, pythons, etc. I’m not ThaT stupid. 😂

Omg the cuteness!! 🥰

Actually, no. All I would need is a couple of kayakers with swift water-rescue skills and gear and maybe a few folks who also think doing arguably stupid things are fun. There’s a small wing in the Cherry familia who’ve been flirting w/ Darwin Awards all our lives & we have some fantastic stories. 😂

I found out today that GCLS is already taking submissions for panels, presentations, and classes for the Con (til Jan 15th) for the 2024 Con. Here's the form, which also has great info on how much or how little input you can have on your suggestion. forms.gle/g3JAww7bLE2p...
