Hey friends! We, The Twinsie Girls (Angie, Melinda, JM, Kelly, Tenise, and Dee) thought it was time to shine a light on all of the wonderful volunteers who have played their part in making Writers on the River such a successful event year after year. As we come down from our book signing highs from July and start to prepare for 2025, YEAR 10, we wanted to see what some of the people behind the scenes have to say about Writers on the River.
Today we are chatting with Brianne Jones. A first time volunteer who learned the ropes from the one and only, Kodi Johnson.
