What's your understanding of the nature of that community, or the clientele your agency serves, and your background and experience with them? How does your agency's work intersect with your interests? € Do you have any questions about your agency's work or the community or clientele it serves that you look forward to asking when you meet? € What are you looking forward to in your community-based writing in comparison to other writing (for example, academic, practical, or personal) that you've done?
