The focus will be on sharing family histories through story.

People will be offered information and examples and learn skills through enjoyable writing exercises. Each workshop will include time dedicated to writing freely, and expert guidance in bringing to life in words participants’ chosen stories, whether a snapshot in time of a past Wanneroo or an anecdote from family history.

Presenter Josephine Taylor is a writer, editor, and an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in Writing at Edith Cowan University. She is a long-time resident in the Wanneroo area, having migrated from England in 1966. Josephine teaches, facilitates, and judges in literary fiction and creative non-fiction.
