Writing Workshops, Events 2025
Patti Miller is offering just one ongoing live course in Sydney this year, as well as one-off classes in other locations in Australia and, of course, the Paris Memoir workshop. Any individual or group may contact pmiller@lifestories.com.au to arrange a course. We will send you an Organiser’s Leaflet with information including fees. Specialised life writing courses for particular interest groups such as Indigenous organisations, senior citizens, women’s centres, environmental groups and refugee centres, can be arranged. Class size is limited to 12 participants.
Courses offered include:
Life Writing: an inspiring and practical introduction to autobiographical writing. It looks at accessing memory, voice, evoking detail, scene and structure.
Memoir (Advanced Life Writing, or Masterclass): a follow-up course, extending and adding to writing skills. It explores issues such as narrative voice and structure, the difficulties of truth telling and pushing the limits of memoir.
Writing the Senses: for both non-fiction and fiction writers. It reveals how to build scene, character and narrative through creating the sight, sound, smell, taste and texture of the world.
