Welcoming Our New ED

In early October 2018, Shoshanna Wingate became the new executive director of WFNB. We warmly welcome her into this position. Shoshanna has worked in the literary nonprofit sector for two decades, including several years as the executive director of the Writers’ Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Since moving to Sackville, NB, in 2014 she has published her debut poetry collection (Radio Weather, released by Vehicle Press), founded the Sackville Art Hive (a monthly art studio) and helped to run a monthly creative writing workshop for youth. At the centre of Shoshanna’s work is a love of the arts: a passion for great writing, a dedication to the joy of exploring the craft, and a commitment to sharing it with others.
