Come along to the Library's workshop celebrating female writers as part of NSW Women's Week (2 - 8 March 2025).

Without structure, a memoir risks feeling like a list of anecdotes.

Facilitated by Fiona Murphy, you will learn how to express yourself and your voice by structuring your memoir to elevate your story.

Whether you are just starting out or have already begun, this workshop will be a positive motivator.

Free.

Ages 18 years and over.

Bookings essential, limited spaces.

Glen Street Library is an accessible space including Auslan interpreting during the workshop. Contact 02 8495 5028 or libraryprograms@northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au for access enquiries.

This event is proudly funded by Women NSW as part of NSW Government.
