Stories move us to remake our world.

I acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong & Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation who are the traditional owners of the land on which I live and work and the Birrarung (Yarra) River in which I swim. Wilip-gin Birrarung murron. (Keep the Birrarung alive!)

If so, read on and reach out. Because your story matters.

Writing is the most powerful way to face grief and find hope. By freeing the writer within, we free ourselves from the grip grief holds on us. When life becomes dark, writing is the way through.

This book will help you write with more heart, truth and vulnerability. And it will make your everyday life more vibrant, purposeful and joyful.
