I am thrilled to be back at the WillyLitFest with two of my favourite workshops:
“Everyone has a story to tell, we just need to ask the right question.”
This workshop will show you how to plan, prepare and conduct an interview; gather your facts, and create the story.
Participants will be able to:
From the blank page to inspiration — get tips on how to nurture your creative seeds in this mini workshop on how to keep a writer’s journal.
This workshop will give you handy tips and ideas on how to use a writer’s notebook.
Participants will explore their imagination and create an inspiration list to assist their writing aspirations.
Welcome to 2017 workshops!
This term, I’ll be running a series of workshops for those of you who love to write about all those great things that go on in your lives.
Join me for some good company, conversation and writing at Maribyrnong Community Centre in May, and also in June at the wonderful Willy Lit Fest #foodforthought.

I’m so looking forward to presenting my two workshops at this year’s Willy Lit Fest!
Although, my workshops have sold out, you may like these other writing events.
Now in its thirteenth year the Willy Lit Fest, aimed at both readers and writers, is the biggest literary festival in the West. This year’s theme is ‘Stay Curious’. The weekend explores ideas on happiness, lifelong learning, discovering our suburbs, ourselves, our industrial past, as well as writing on politics, footy, positive ageing, science, innovation and fascinating works from new novelists.

The program is jam packed with over 80 authors in 50 sessions including lively panel discussions, in-depth interviews, inspiring author talks, creative workshops and readings. Festival guests include Andy Griffiths, Leigh Hobbs, Sofie Laguna, George Megalogenis, Steve Bracks, Rosalie Ham, Stuart Coupe, Alice Pung, Leah Kaminsky, Arnold Zable, Renata Singer, Dmetri Kakmi, Claire Saxby, Olga Lorenzo and Frank Bongiorno, Sally Rippin, Morris Gleitzman, David Astle, Styg Wemyss, Jeff Maynard, Lucia Nardo, Enza Gandolfo and Vin Maskell.

There is a definite buzz in the Melbourne air as the last weeks of August and winter slip by. But it isn’t the thought of sunshine and footy finals that has the town in a fluster — late August means only one thing: the Melbourne Writers Festival.
Victoria University has teamed up with MWF15 to give emerging writers and editors the chance to be reviewers/editors for a day.
I was lucky enough to edit reviews for Georgia Buck, Maria Dunne, Marcelle Liemant and Amanda Pearson.
Check out this great blog to keep up with all the literary action.
“Winter is the perfect season for staying indoors and keeping warm…and writing!”
If you’ve always wanted to give writing a go, but weren’t sure how to start, why don’t you come along to one of my ‘Introduction to Creative Life Writing’ courses?
