Reading and writing women's stories with Rachael Johns
Stories shape how we see the world—and how we see ourselves.
In this powerful and thought-provoking session, iconic West Australian Author Rachael Johns invites readers and writers alike to explore the transformative impact of telling women’s stories.
From the everyday to the extraordinary, women’s experiences have long been underrepresented or misunderstood in literature. This event celebrates the voices that challenge that silence. Rachael will delve into the joys and responsibilities of writing authentic female characters, the importance of representation, and the ways storytelling can empower, heal, and connect.
This session is a rallying call to honour the stories that have shaped us—and to write the ones that still need to be told.
