International Women’s Day Author Talk
The 8th of March 2026 is International Women’s Day! Join us at Amherst Village Library on the 7th of March for a free Author Talk event to celebrate.
Kate Purcell is a local writer/speaker, peer worker, and the author of two published books. In her first book “Hope Inc. Overcoming Anorexia and Schizoaffective Disorder”, Kate shared the story of her struggles with various mental health disorders. One of her greatest struggles was with anorexia nervosa, a condition that disproportionately affects women all over the world.
Kate’s second book, “Tell Your Eating Disorder to F**k Off”, has recently been published, and is the self-help book for eating disorders, written by someone who lives with it. Kate’s latest publication is a toolbox for separating who you are from your disorder, and building a life without constant struggles around food, weight, and negative self-perception.
Join us at Amherst Village Library on Saturday the 7th of March, for an author talk by Kate about her new book, her journey, and her mission to help others find the hope and healing they are missing.
Copies of Kate’s books will be available for purchase and signing.
Adults only. Bookings are essential and open to the public from the 20th of February 2026. Click here to book your spot.
