‘Writers often ask me why their stories matter. Here’s the truth: Your stories matter because they are yours. No one else has lived your life, felt your turning points or witnessed the world with your blend of experience, imagination and voice. This workbook is designed to help you honour that truth – to write with courage, curiosity and intention.’ – Meg Dunley
