Workshops
Testimonials
Sarah was insightful and inclusive with participants and created a safe atmosphere for people to be revealing about their memoirs.
I would have loved this workshop to go for two days or at least one!
It gave me ideas and I loved the chance to do some writing.
It was interesting to hear the memoir ideas from other people and to connect with them, even if very briefly.
2022 Melbourne Writers’ Festival – Memoir Workshop
I enjoyed the memoir writing workshop opportunity. It made me think very differently about why and what I’m writing. In addition to what I learned, I now have a clear path on next steps. Sarah taught me a lot about being more creative. Her session truly opened my mind. She’s clear in message, and compassionate in approach.
