*Good to know: We’re committed to maintaining a safe and healthy classroom environment. If we’re unable to run the classroom course in-person due to COVID-19 government restrictions, your course will be delivered as an online LIVE course via Zoom over two weekends. Our standard enrolment conditions still apply.
The Australian Writers’ Centre is delighted to present a course on Life Writing with Patti Miller. The course explores creative autobiographical writing and will set you on the journey of writing your life. Patti is the author of Writing True Stories (Allen & Unwin 2017) and she will show you how to shape your experiences into a well written, absorbing story.
Patti will help you to:
And MUCH more.
There will be some readings, discussion and lots of writing with individual comment on your work. By its completion you will have made a start on your life story and have the confidence and techniques to continue.
You know you have a story to tell.
It’s your story.
Participants will need to acquire a copy of the course text, Writing True Stories, (Allen & Unwin 2017 ed.) by Patti Miller, available at all good bookshops.

Our Life Writing course gives you the incredible opportunity to be mentored by Patti Miller – one of the best memoir presenters in the industry.
We offer two different course types:
With our popular Online Live courses, you participate online from the comfort of your own home in a live Zoom video-based classroom. Patti and an intimate group of classmates are right there with you in real time as you explore the essential elements of life writing and apply them to your own work.
Our Life Writing weekend workshops allow you to learn from Patti in-person with a small group of classmates. These special events are only offered a few times a year and with very limited places available, we recommend booking your spot early to avoid missing out.
Want to know where all the cool kids hang out? The Graduates’ Club of course! Now, calm down – there are no cigars, leather armchairs or loud ticking grandfather clocks here. But it IS exclusive invitation only (on completion of a course) and it’s free! Meet other writers online and share successes, seek help or just get something off your chest. Many students believe this ‘legacy learning’ is one of the most valuable things about our AWC community, and who are we to argue? So if you want to receive feedback, support and a heads-up on opportunities … join the Club!
