Want to Tell Your Story on BBC One?

---

Join library workshops to help you join the competition

The Reading Agency, a charity which aims to inspire people to read more, is working with Hammersmith & Fulham libraries to encourage local people to share their true stories for the BBC's My Story.

My Story is a competition for ordinary people to tell their extraordinary stories. Finalists in the contest will tell their story in a major BBC One series, and five people will win a fantastic book deal.

Story facilitator Gerry Ryan will be holding a series of group workshops offering help on an individual basis to people who are interested in taking part.

These workshops will be on:

Wednesday November 4 at 10am, Bishop Creighton House, Lillie Road
Friday November 6 at 10am, Archives & Local History Centre, Lila Huset, Talgarth Road
Saturday November 7 at 10am, New Shepherds Bush Library, Westfield Retail Centre

Booking is essential for these sessions. For information and booking, contact Debby Wale, Reader Development Librarian on 020 8753 3812, or email debby.wale@lbhf.gov.uk.

Individual sessions are available for those unable to attend a workshop, which can be booked at the individual venues. If you have your story ready on a USB memory stick, you can upload them during these individual sessions.

These sessions will be on:

Tuesday November 3, Fulham Library Fulham Road, call 020 8753 3877
Thursday November 5, Hammersmith Library, Shepherds Bush Road, call 020 8753 3820

Libraries have copies of the BBC My Story magazine with hints and tips, or you can find out more at My Story.
