About this ebook
Everyone can write a life story.
If you have dreamed by childhood creeks, had coffee with a friend, watched the sun rise after a partner has died, or lived through any of life's twists and turns, then you have a life story to write.
Writing Your Life provides techniques for getting started, handling perspective, finding your voice and bringing experiences to life on the page. It also explores issues like selective memory, emotional healing and how to communicate your truths without clich s.
Expanded and revised throughout including three new chapters, Writing Your Life also illustrates the passion and delight of life writing with the addition of a wholly new anthology of stories by people who have already been encouraged by Patti Miller's writing techniques.
This wonderful new edition of Writing Your Life will inspire and guide you through the exciting journey of exploring your own life story.
'This book will be a valuable companion as you write your own life story.' Caroline Jones, author of An Authentic Life
'Patti Miller is the perfect navigator to accompany anyone embarking on the journey of discovery that is life writing ... her voice is like that of a guiding friend, offering encouragement and support as well as practical advice.' Caroline Baum

About the author
Patti Miller is a writer and teacher who lives in the Blue Mountains of NSW. After teaching general writing classes for many years, Patti discovered how many people wanted to write their life stories and designed workshops especially for them. The first edition of 'Writing your Life' (1994) grew out of those workshops. 'The Last One Who Remembers' (1997), Patti's second book, shows what is possible if writers continue to explore their craft in the this way. 'Child' (1998) was her third book and first novel.
