Mackay’s Dudley Denny City Library is opening its doors next Saturday, July 1st to give you the opportunity to sharpen your writing skills in a free educational workshop.
In this workshop, Whitsundays local 852 Press Director, Dr Julia Evans and former Federal Political and author of nine books, Richard Evans will combine their wealth of knowledge to help you discover new ways of writing in an uplifting, interactive manner.
Kick-start your memoir writing journey and uncover the magic of storytelling as they guide you through crucial pen-points such as understanding memoir as a genre, where and how to start, the role of research and memory gaps, the art of storytelling and characters, ethical consideration and challenges, as well as tips on developing your memoir project.
These powerhouse writers believe that ‘Every life is a story waiting to be told. Your experiences and memories are priceless treasures that deserve to be immortalised.’
Julia and Richard Evans are also the convenors of the renewed 2024 Whitsundays Writers Festival and are available to discuss this upcoming event, including a preview of confirmed programs and speakers.
The Whitsundays Writers Festival is a premier literary event dedicated to fostering creativity, dialogue, and appreciation for the written word. Bringing together acclaimed authors, aspiring writers, and avid readers, the Festival celebrates the diverse tapestry of storytelling while showcasing the natural beauty of the Whitsundays region.
The Festival, spanning three days from Friday, September 6, to Sunday, September 8, 2024, will also feature the prestigious Whitsundays Literary Heart Awards. The Heart Awards provide well-deserved recognition and financial rewards to talented writers for best unpublished manuscript, short story, poetry, and book design.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Mackay workshop is a place to feel inspired and learn more about writing your memoir.
It is tailored for adults who may not have extensive writing experience but are eager to share their unique stories.
‘You don’t need to be a seasoned writer; all you need is a willingness to explore.
Don’t miss this opportunity to preserve your legacy through the art of memoir writing.’
