WFT Writers Room - Minding the Creative Mind with Ann Marie Shields - Members Zoom Meeting

From Free

Description

Welcome to the WFT Writer’s Room, a supportive online space where our members can ask honest and in-depth questions across an array of topics managed by fellow writer and WFT Admin Executive Gemma Creagh.

In this industry, rejection is embedded in the game, and so much of your work might never see the light of day. WFT is delighted to host a discussion on mental health with the accomplished director of Minding Creative Minds, Ann Marie Shields. In our post-pandemic world, fueled by social media, creatives are reporting record burnout. We'll be chatting with Anne Marie, not only about her impressive achievements to date, but also about the important work that Minding Creative Minds is doing - as we reflect on the question: how can we protect our mental health as writers?

All are welcome to register for the live webinar with Ann Marie, which will take place at 6:30pm on Wednesday 5th October. If you want to listen in for this... you can register here to get the link for that discussion directly: https://us06web.zoom.us/webina...


*However, please note: this page is for up-to-date WFT & WGI Members to register for the private zoom meeting Q&A after with Ann Marie at 7:15 pm. The link for the zoom meeting will be sent out the morning of the 5th*
