Now that I’m done pinching myself that @WordfestTweets is hosting my book launch on September 25, I want to make sure there are as many friendly faces at the event to alleviate my imposter syndrome anxiety over the fact that my book is finally available! https://t.co/N9ZlsC8HZb

[Shawna Curry @ShawnaCurry_]

Another great presentation by @WordfestTweets discussing “Health For All” by @janephilpott who’s seeking to create a Canada Primary Care Act in 2035- healthcare for all, that is more than the sum of its parts. I’m in!

[Jane Philpott @janephilpott]

Calgary’s @WordfestTweets with CEO Shelley Youngblut and host @cfrangou not only met but exceeded their reputations. We had fabulous audiences, an inspired team of organizers, and so many people who wanted to talk about #HealthForAll. Thank you for your generous support!❤️

[Wordfest @WordfestTweets]

Hearts full of hope after an evening with @janephilpott tonight, in Calgary. #HealthcareForAll @penguinrandom

[Dr. Fiona Mattatall 🪩🇨🇦 @FionaMattatall]

A big thank you to @WordfestTweets for hosting @janephilpott tonight. Another amazing interview by @cfrangou.

Left feeling inspired and positive for the future of health care in Canada ❤️

[Dr. Christine Gibson @GibtrotterMD]

What an amazing adventure at @WordfestTweets - especially loved #HexingThePatriarchy. But so many beautiful moments with words… (also v interesting to see many WOC authors masked while others didn’t).

[Louise Candlish #TheOnlySuspect @louise_candlish]

What a brilliant audience at my event with Ashley Audrain (#TheWhispers, dark, daring, highly recommended) and Calgary media legend @leahsarich - we could have continued our chinwag all day! @WordfestTweets has been a blast (really hope they’ll invite me again 😉) #TheOnlySuspect

[Lisa @llpoole]
