About Michèle Meyer
Hello, ek is Michèle Meyer. Hoewel my skryfwerk deesdae hoofsaaklik in Afrikaans is, is die inligting op my webblad in Engels. Op dié manier bereik ek ’n breër gehoor. Alles wat ek in Engels aanbied, is natuurlik ook in Afrikaans
beskikbaar!
As a creative writer and columnist, I strive to engage, inform, educate, and enthral readers. My obsession with words, language, and narrative is a matter uncontainable. I must busy myself with it constantly. Sharing it is a drive almost as strong. I present corporate, educational, and cultural storytelling and speak at events.
Areas of interest:
Searching story and stimulating creativity
Autofiction
Social awareness
Regaining equilibrium (burnout, mental health, self-care)
Resilience
Services:
I can offer your business/organisation/school a 45 to 60-minute talk with a Q&A session thereafter in person or via Zoom, or a two-hour interactive workshop, preferably in person.
Although talks and workshops can be streamlined to suit your specific needs, specific topics are:
• Searching the story – from journal to title
• Autofiction – from a distance
• Social awareness in a time of self-interest
• I’m done – regaining equilibrium
• Back up again (divorce/mental health/endings and beginnings)
