Why does the blank page feel so intimidating, even when you know what you want to say? And why do some people manage to get published again and again… While others stay stuck in their heads? In this session, Emma, a columnist for Shanghai Daily, a well-known voice in the city, and an incredibly talented and experienced writer and journalist, pulls back the curtain on what writing really looks like behind the scenes.

The blank page is scary in any language. In your second language, it can feel impossible. But the writers who succeed don’t succeed because of talent or impressive vocabulary. They succeed because of technique. In this session, Emma gets honest about how it’s really done; the panic, the tears, the tantrums, and the tools that get her published every single week. Expect real column extracts, lively debate, hands-on activities, and the techniques you need to write your first published piece.
