PRESENTING:
How Journalism Taught Me Who I Am
Sporting an illustrious career as a celebrity profile writer for the likes of Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, Harrison Ford and Jennifer Aniston, journalist Rachelle Unreich is a woman of incredible words. Having focussed to writing more personal pieces, she hosts this talk on the cathartic and connective powers of words and writing.
A talk perfect for anyone seeking to delve deeper into their own writing practice or even simply discover it.
Writing It All Down
Although she’s been a journalist for more than three decades, it was only relatively recently that Rachelle Unreich realised how important it is for people to record their history – their own, and that of their family members.
Most people believe that their stories are only worth committing to paper if they have a historically interesting story, or if they're a good writer themselves. Actually, neither are necessary, and this talk/workshop will explain why.
