Creative Non-Fiction Writ Large

Graeme, memoirist and experienced writing workshop presenter, pitches his workshops to accommodate writers from beginner to advanced. You’ll have a hands-on opportunity to learn how to shape the facts—not make them up—enabling you to tell the stories of your life. The workshop also offers an opportunity to participate in the life of WestWords by having your stories recorded and played in the WPCC and displayed in the Community Arts Centre.

Graeme Gibson’s book "Beyond Fear and Loathing: Local politics at work," received an award for Journalism and Media Advocacy from the Illawarra News, an independent citizen journalism site. It 'takes the reader on ‘a fascinating “Rats in the Ranks” type journey, exploring the machinations of a small time council hypnotised by development dollars, forgetting its core purpose of serving the public interest.’

Apart from life writing you can see his responses to nature, community, politics and their intersection at www.morethanjusttalk.com.au and find out more about his workshops on writing about place and Little Literature; poetry or prose that responds to art, place or events.
