The Writers' Community of Durham Region is featuring author Suzanne Desrochers at the next breakfast meeting.

Suzanne's debut novel Bride of New France covers the life of Laure, a fille du roi – one of the many women sent to the New World to help populate it so it could be settled in the name of the French King.

The meeting will be held at the Ajax Convention Centre. Pre-registration is required and the deadline for registering is 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 14th, 2012.

After the meeting, for an extra fee of $10 per person, breakfast attendees can take part in a mini workshop titled, “Write Funny for Money,” by Dorothea Helms (The Writing Fairy). As an alternative, WCDR members attending the breakfast may choose to pay $10 extra to attend a 15-minute, one-on-one blue-pencil session with a published professional or editor after the meeting.

At the WCDR monthly breakfast meetings, experienced and aspiring writers gather, learn and connect. The March 17th meeting will run from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Registration fees include a gourmet breakfast. Fees are $20.00 for members who pre-pay, or $25.00 at the door. The non-member rate is $25.00 and must be pre-paid. Tickets for the breakfast are not available at the door.

Pre-registration for the breakfast meeting, mini-workshop and blue-pencil session is required. Register online at www.wcdr.org, by phone at 905-686-0211 or by email at breakfast@wcdr.org, no later than 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 14th. Anyone who registers by phone or email must indicate their breakfast menu option or will receive the Chef's Special.
