In My Area - Aveley

Celebrating Library and Information Week 2013

Do you have stories of people and places that you would love to write about? 

Workshop conductor Michele Bishop will guide participants to put pen to paper through interesting writing exercises and discussions.

So come along and share your story!

Michele has been an avid writer since being given her first pencil. She has worked in the fields of radio, printing, nursing, arts management, teaching and training. Her editing credits include working with community groups to help them self-publish their own creative work, marking for the WA Department of Education, and of course as a writer, struggling to limit the self-editing process to promote readability but not stifle creativity.

Bookings for this free event are essential as places are limited.

Suitable for adults only.

This writing workshop is being held as part of Library and Information Week 2013.

For more information or to place a booking contact Ellenbrook Community Library on 9297 9600.
