Just attended the talk: "How to Write a Memoir"
Saturday, 28 November, 2.00 - 4.00pm (Registration starts at 1.50pm)
Visitor's Briefing Room, Level 1, National Library Building
The session is conducted by Mr Wong Chai Kee. The talk walks through the four-year writing journey of a first-time author – of how the difficulty in getting out the first 1,000 words and other experience related to writing.
A Melbourne University-trained psychologist, Wong Chai Kee has run his own management consultancy firm, with a 190-strong client list of multinational, government-linked and mainboard-listed companies, for twenty-two years. He loves writing, and has written numerous articles on psychology and on Christianity. A voracious reader, especially of memoirs and history, he has an insatiable urge to buy books, despite reading at least a page of every book bought.
Here is the title of the book by the speaker available from National Library Online Catalogue:
