What people are saying…

I attended Felicity’s monthly  ‘Life Stories’ course at Mona Vale  library during 2024.
The course was well structured and Felicity presented a lively and useful talk  on various aspects of writing your ‘Life Story’ each month.
There were exercises and an opportunity to share our work with other members of the group.
Felicity’s warmth and encouragement created a safe space for our group to share our stories.
The course equipped me with the information and the enthusiasm to tackle the task.
I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in beginning the journey of writing their life story.

Felicity Lenehan is an exceptional writing mentor who made learning fun and exciting. Her classes were also engaging

and she was incredibly patient and supportive, helping me build my confidence. I’m very grateful for her guidance.

What a treasure for us and our kids, and the generations to come. We organised a surprise party for dad and gifted him his life story book. My daughter read lots of it out. Dad was in tears. He loved it. Thank you sooo much.

Felicity is really easy to communicate with. She explains everything really clearly and has understandable ways of setting your story out. She helped guide me through every step of my book-from getting my ideas onto the paper to choosing my main characters; all the way to helping create the settings of the story onto paper. She makes writing feel like fun not hard work. Writing my book has been such a great exercise to further extend my writing abilities and learn tips and tricks from an expert

Mr 10 and Miss 9 just completed the writer’s workshop in the school holidays and absolutely loved it!! They have both almost finished their very own stories up to chapter 5!! Both have commented on how calming and helpful Felicity was and definitely want to do this again!

Mum and I joined Felicity’s Life Story course last year and it has been fantastic for both of us. I have been trying to get Mum to write her story FOR YEARS and this series was just the ticket.

Mum was worried about her writing to start, but with Felicity’s guidance and encouragement, I have seen her confidence grow and her stories have become more expressive and fun to read. I came along just to support but got hooked and have started writing my own story!

Felicity covered so many techniques, tips and ways to think about how to tell our own stories in this course. It was great to have guidance on how to approach it and how to make it something that others will want to read.

100% Everyone should do this.
Even better, bring someone you love.

Felicity’s life story course was full of techniques and exercises on how to start and continue to write a life story. A great experience. Highly recommend.

Felicity is a charming facilitator of words and stories and writing.
