Popular blogger at the Turnbull

Cartoonist, novelist, illustrator and blogger, Sarah Laing will be speaking about her work, in Wellington on Thursday 22 August.

She is the 2013 Michael King Writers Centre/University of Auckland Writer-in-residence, where she is writing a graphic novel about Katherine Mansfield. Her second novel has just been published to very good reviews.

Sarah’s blog – “Let me be Frank” all about her life as a writer and mother has been going since 2010. It takes the form of a web comic. Her talk will be about the risky business of over-sharing your private life online.

The lunch-time talk ties-in with the current exhibition at the Library’s Turnbull Gallery, Logs to Blogs: Diaries from the Turnbull Library, which features her work along with that of 11 other ‘diarists’.

When: Thursday, 22 August, 12.10 pm
