Come along to a two hour fun and informal workshop led by writer Amanda White who specialises in scriptwriting and poetry whilst working as a creative practitioner with previous experience as a literary agent and editor. Amanda will focus on looking at creating innovative narratives and developing a strong, compelling voice. What questions should you be asking yourself throughout the writing process? Individual feedback allows everyone to emerge with increased confidence and skills in presenting themselves, telling their stories, and pitching their projects.

Amanda White was born in London in 1965 where she lived until moving to Cornwall in 2002. She began getting her poetry published at 19 and her work has been in many magazines, newspapers and anthologies with two full length collections of her own. She also writes childrens books, has contributed to travel guides for Time Out, film scripts (latest triptych of shorts with director Andrew Gillman www.itsnotmyfault.info) and is working on an older childrens book right now. She also worked as a literary agent and edited books including Chris Kitch's Pavement for My Pillow, an uplifting story of a former drug addict who had lived on the streets. She works as a Creative Practitioner running writing courses within education and health settings. As writer in residence for Tintagel she worked with the community to produce a wall of words poem cut into slate in the town square and on individual touchstones.
