Creative Writing
Everyone has a book inside them they say, but how do you get the story out? In this live online workshop, you will learn everything you need to know about how to write your novel, memoir or non-fiction book.
In a supportive and creative atmosphere, your teacher will lead you through a number of exercises designed to help with the planning of your book.
You will touch on all the important elements of writing craft including:
  • Mapping your story
  • Coming up with a good title
  • Writing your synopsis and chapter outline
  • Crafting an engaging opening chapter
You will learn about the writer's voice, building the world of your story, how to create great characters and lead them into page-turning action.
With this plan in place we will set goals and a timetable for regular weekend writing that can see you with a draft manuscript in three to six months.
All genres and all levels of experience welcome.

Knowledge required
Ability to write, no other experience necessary.
 
What to bring
  • Plain paged A4 size visual diary or scrapbook

My passion is supporting writers on their journey to publication.
I've been teaching creative writing for two decades at writer’s centres, community colleges, universities (UTS, WSU) and writer’s festivals in Australia and Asia.
The thing that distinguishes me from other writing teachers is a technique I've developed called Meditative Writing. Using guided sense visualisations I take writers deep into their creative source. The workshops produce startling results and over the years a number of writers working with me have gone on to publish with major publishing houses.
For my own work I have been awarded a number of grants and fellowships and have written plays, musicals, screenplays, a novel, a collection of stories and poems, and three CDs of songs. With a Master of Arts in Cultural and Creative Practice (WSU) I am dedicated to nurturing the unique attributes of each writer I work with.
Based in Sydney, Australia, I also lead writing journeys to international locations. From 2014 - 2020 we have travelled to Bali, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Japan, Fiji, Paris and Morocco.
