Patti Miller's new book released today!

Our wonderful Life Writing course presenter Patti Miller will be having a few busy weeks ahead. Her new book is launched tomorrow. It is called The Memoir Book, published by Allen & Unwin, ($24.95).
Patti teaches Life Writing at the Sydney Writers' Centre and is the best life writing teacher in Australia. Her courses are very popular and she has guided many students to publication.

Here is some information about the book from the publishers:

We all have a story to tell - adopting a child, riding a bike across India or surviving a difficult past. With our stories we make sense of ourselves and the world around us. 

In The Memoir Book, Patti shows us how to write about an aspect of our life; a particular time, place, or experience. She reveals how to express and shape these stories within us so that the writing becomes much more than a record, it becomes a creative journey.

Through Patti’s warm, clear and encouraging style, The Memoir Book provides valuable insight on how to find your topic and develop your narrative voice. This book is an essential guide for anyone who wants to write memoir or extend the possibilities of autobiography and non-fiction.

Patti Miller is the author of Writing Your Life, The Last One Who Remembers, Child and Whatever The Gods Do. The Memoir Book is a companion volume to Patti’s highly successful Writing Your Life and provides practical advice and inspiration for both new and experienced writers exploring the popular genre of memoir.

We are also thrilled that Patti has just announced she is holding another course in Life Writing at the Sydney Writers' Centre.

Time: 10.00am-12noon
