Memoir & life writing workshop

The Memoir & Life Writing Workshop helps you recognise that life experience, combined with a desire to write, is all you need to tell your own story.

Our experiences shape us and inform our world view, and nobody navigates life without struggle. Our personal circumstances, our observations of the world, and our personalities make us all unique individuals, and therefore the narratives of our lives are just as unique.

We will read, discuss and be inspired by excerpts from exemplary life-writing texts. With in-class writing exercises, we will focus on aspects of memoir writing and you will have the opportunity to share your work in a confidential and nurturing environment.

By the end of this creative writing course, you should be able to:

• Draw on newly acquired knowledge and skills to continue on your writing journey independently

• Generate new writing ideas with increased confidence in experimenting with alternate forms

• Apply detail and drama to bring your writing to life

• Identify avenues of print and publication available in Australia.
