Abstract

Nicole Crowe's practice-led creative writing thesis investigated the possibilities of humour in regional family memoir. Her creative work offers a counterpoint to the recent trend toward trauma narrative in life writing. In 2018, Nicole was awarded a place in the nationally competitive Hachette Manuscript Development Program for her creative work, and she is currently working with a literary agent to bring her work to publishable standard.
