Memoir writing encouraged

 

Peninsula residents aged over 50 are being encouraged to write their memoirs and short stories in a program sponsored by the Fellowship of Australian Writers and NSW Ministry of the Arts.

Peninsula resident Pat Lindsay and fellow writer Sheila Drakely plan to visit retirement homes within the next few weeks.

Both commenced writing after retirement and say they find fulfillment in expressing themselves in words, as well as meeting others with the same interest.

Pat has won more competitions than she can remember and been published in short story form and Sheila seen her stories in several anthologies.

The short story writing competition closes on September 2.

Winners will be presented with prizes at the Central Coast writers' festival awards lunch at Gosford RSL on Saturday, November 23.

With inquiries, phone Pat on 4342 2184
