We will host a storytelling workshop on Zoom at the Bathurst Readers' and Writers' Festival on Saturday May 2, 11am to 12 noon.
"Life At Home" is the theme of a new storytelling competition for Bathurst.
Share or listen to stories about "Life At Home".
We will discuss tips on how to turn your experiences into a story, in writing, photos, video or audio. Or just appreciate the stories.
