This event is free and open to everyone.
Shirley Sirota Rosenberg reports she had no choice. In the third grade, a teacher pleased with a story Shirley wrote, remarked, "I suppose you want to be a journalist when you grow up." And, she reports, "I was marked for life, never working at anything else."
Ms. Rosenberg will speak on Monday Nov. 9th in the Small Conference Room of the West End Public Library from 6-8 pm. The library is at 1101 24th St., NW, near the Foggy Bottom Metro stop.
Her first job was with a local weekly newspaper; the next: a move into freelance work for both the private and public sectors that eventually included the post of Washington Editor for parent’s Magazine..
More than years ago Shirley established SSR Incorporated, a writing and editing business. For much of that time, she was also an Adjunct Professor at GWU, teaching the capstone course in the Publications Specialist Program.
