We are thrilled to announce Nancy Johnson as our Guiding Scribe for the coming year. Nancy is the author of the highly acclaimed The Kindest Lie and her latest novel, People of Means, forthcoming from William Morrow/HarperCollins February 11, 2025. Her writing explores themes of race, class, and family that resonate deeply with many of us, and her success at writing women’s fiction makes her a great fit for this role. You may remember her as our keynote speaker at the 2022 conference. Nancy states "I was part of this organization near its inception and attended the first retreat in Albuquerque. I wouldn't be a successfully published author without the community I found at WFWA so it's my honor to give back." You can learn more about her work at nancyjohnson.net. We’re fortunate to have her insight and creativity as part of WFWA’s offerings in 2025.
