Creative Writing For Fearties: Dear Diary…

Read between the lines of women’s diaries in our collection to create your own fiction and poetry.

Creative Writing For Fearties: Dear Diary… Saturday 16th March, 1.30pm to 3.30pm, £2/Free, Women only*

Have you ever picked up someone else’s diary and been intrigued by the snippets of life within, while feeling just a tad guilty for reading something so personal? Well, here’s a guilt free invitation to read between the lines and do some creative writing using diaries in our collection. Look through the tiny 1922 journal of a party animal, the writing of a woman farmer in the 1930s, and the wartime diary of an ophthalmic nurse in far flung locations.
