Even the very best sometimes stall. In this special, one-off masterclass, children's author, scriptwriter, songwriter and poet Nadine Wild-Palmer invites you to embrace the imperfect and throw out the idea of the imposter by offering tips on how to re-find creative rhythm, recover confidence, and turn dead-ends into new beginnings. It will also give you some great tools to have in your writing kit for when you get a bit stuck and your tried and tested methods for digging yourself out of a tight spot have become a bit stale.
Through practical advice, imaginative exercises and discussion around the complex landscape of language, plot and form, Nadine will show you how to approach your writing when you’re lacking confidence, feeling the fear, or just completely stumped. There’s No Right Way To Write is a masterclass designed to free you from the should, must, can’t, and sense-of-duty that can interfere with your writing!
This event is for writers of children's fiction and all attendees will receive a unique discount code to purchase a copy of the latest edition of the Children's Writers' & Artists' Yearbook 2022 at a discounted rate.
Nadine is a writer and creator of: stories, books, songs, poetry, scripts, comedy, music and theatre. Her debut children's novel The Tunnels Below was published by Pushkin Press in Spring 2019. She loves words and voices, so it only made sense for her to become a Voice-over Artist too. If you watch TV there’s a chance you’ve heard her chatting away on the box at some point, as I’m a Continuity Announcer. Nadine has worked for Channel 4, E4 and Together. Nadine studied Drama and Cultural studies at the University of Sussex before completing her MA in Creative and Critical Writing. She has worked as an Actor professionally touring shows and playing a wide range of roles from a pregnant teenager on the run from a gang in Crossings to Phoebe in Shakespeare’s As you Like It on stage.
