Following the success of the Words on the Waves Opening Address earlier this year, The Art House and Words on the Waves Writers Festival are continuing to bring high quality panels, discussions, and literary events to the Central Coast. Together they are honored to be co-hosting the intimate Q&A style book launch in celebration of Wendy Harmer\u2019s extraordinary life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pioneer to women in media, Wendy Harmer is launching her autobiography Lies My Mirror Told Me, <\/em>published by Allen & Unwin. With a career spanning four decades, Wendy Harmer has forged her way through the cut-throat media industry to find success as a journalist, columnist, TV host, author, playwright, comic performer and the highest paid woman in Sydney FM Radio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wendy Harmer is now at a point of her life where she is considered an iconic Australian public figure. Born with a severe facial deformity, Lies My Mirror Told Me<\/em> is a reflection on Wendy\u2019s life with her trademark in-your-face frankness and celebrated wit- and what follows is one of the most unlikely success stories you will ever read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amanda Keller has reviewed the book as \u201cdeeply moving, wise, hilarious and raucous.<\/em>\u201d It tells of a life of adversity, from Wendy\u2019s facial deformity to her mother going missing when she was 10 years old, and her teacher father constantly moving around the state. Wendy, being dubbed the \u2018funny looking\u2019 kid had to develop new strategies to find friends and fit in. The result is the benchmark of a confident, resilient, funny and trail-blazing personality that audiences will be captivated to hear from firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve always believed where there\u2019s a chance, you have to take it\u2026 or invent it.<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Wendy Harmer<\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking place in the intimate black box Studio of The Art House, this is a chance to be up close and hear from Wendy Harmer at this Q&A style book launch. The event will be followed by an opportunity to purchase the book and have it signed by Wendy herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Art House and Words on the Waves Presents<\/p>\n\n\n\n WENDY HARMER \u2013 BOOK LAUNCH<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sat 11 Nov 7PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n All tickets: $20.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n From www.thearthousewyong.com.au<\/a> \/ 02 4335 1485<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following the success of the Words on the Waves Opening Address earlier this year, The Art House and Words on the Waves Writers Festival are continuing to bring high quality…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6342,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"series":[115],"class_list":["post-6340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-events","series-coffee-with-a-coastie"],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/10\/AHP_WendyHarmer_TV_Screen_Slide_Horiztonal.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/wp-content\/plugins\/seriously-simple-podcasting\/assets\/images\/no-album-art.png","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"stitcher":{"key":"stitcher","url":"","label":"Stitcher","class":"stitcher","icon":"stitcher.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/onthecoastpublications.com.au\/onthecoastover55\/feed\/podcast\/coffee-with-a-coastie","embedCode":"Wendy Harmer\u2019s Autobiography Launch for: A Celebrated Life’s Reflection at The Art House<\/a><\/blockquote>
