The year 2025 marks 40 years since the WFNB's incorporation in 1985. Here is a small portion of a Zoom interview, which was conducted in April, 2025 by Jenna Morton of Pickle Planet Moncton with two founding members of the WFNB - Nancy Bauer and Ann Brennan - along with our first president (pre-incorporation), Allan Cooper. You can hear the full podcast on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0T6Vc4AQfxgbSJQH4av7Ms?si=d4Bf2VejS6iLj5S5XxiirA The WFNB is pleased and grateful to look back on its grassroots history, and at the same time, plan for the future. |

“The WFNB is an essential and caring group for any young writer, especially those just beginning their careers. As we know writing is a hard enough and solitary enough vocation. The WFNB is a most valuable federation, able to encourage, befriend, and at times offset isolation.” David Adams Richards
