I CAN HELP YOU

  • Dr Christine V Williams

    Author and Mentor, Director of the boutique publisher, Sydney School of Arts & Humanities

    As Leading Mentor for My Life Story Project, Dr. Christine Williams spends the major part of her working week mentoring and advising participants in the Project who are seriously focused on writing their own life stories. Christine’s background has been in the field of writing for thirty years, having written major biographies published by mainstream publishers in Australia, Great Britain and India, alongside teaching as a university lecturer as well as a teaching community writing groups. Her latest project comes out of her understanding that everyone has a story to tell worth reading. Through her mentoring, Dr. Williams came to a realisation that the best way to encourage others to write their ‘living knowledge’ was through a planned program of stimulus and response. Using a reliable framework to approach the often daunting task of writing one’s own life story – whether memoir or autobiography – the results have been remarkable. Writers work so much more confidently, finding their own unique ‘writing voice’ through the process of being mentored by an experienced writer and teacher. The same principles apply to everyone starting out to write their own story. My Life Story Project has harnessed those principles, making them available through online programs, templates, I.T. tools and mentoring techniques. The author of four biographical works and a short story collection, Dr. Williams wrote the first biography of novelist Christina Stead. She has had a special interest in memoir, relationships and identity in life-writing, having researched the life of the Indian philosopher, Jiddu Krishnamurti, for her Doctorate of Creative Arts from the University of Technology, Sydney. She also holds a Master of Arts from the University of Sydney. Writing across a range of genres, Dr. Williams won a State History Fellowship and has had a number of short stories published in academic journals and the mainstream media. She writes under the names Christine Williams and C V Williams. Christine will help you realise your dream to write your very own unique life story.

Testimonials from previous authors

“To write is not for the fainthearted or those lacking the courage to test themselves in the name of truth. I can say that you have a bountiful supply of courage and truth-telling and many future readers will benefit as a result. Well done.”

“Humans love stories because of their power to transport the mind into an unexplored world, and to enlighten the reader about their inner purpose or emotional state along the way.”

“Thanks so much for the editing comments. They will give me plenty to think about on my drive today through the high mountain passes of Colorado. I am hoping the drive will trigger more memories for the next phase of writing.”
