Sustaining Your Creative Practice with Emma Pass

About this event

Join author Emma Pass to learn about how she established and sustained a creative practice whilst navigating neurodivergence, disability and chronic illness. Emma will lead a series of fun, no-pressure writing exercises based around wellbeing, designed to spark creativity and bring joy back into writing, and aim to give you some tools to take forward in your own creative practice. Emma will also talk about why “being a writer” and “getting published” are not the same, and why it’s vital keep writing as your happy place.

Emma Pass is an award-winning and Carnegie Medal nominated author of four novels for teenagers and adults. She’s been a Patron of Reading and First Story writer in residence, and now works a reader and developmental editor for The Literacy Consultancy and as a mentor and writing group leader for Writing East Midlands, supporting adults and young people with their writing as part of WEM’s Momentum and Beyond the Spectrum programmes.
