Presenters
Tristan Bancks, author of bestselling and award-winning books for 10-14 year-olds Two Wolves, The Fall, Detention, Cop & Robber and Scar Town has been visiting schools and working with young writers for the past 15 years. In doing so, he has developed a number of unique, future-facing, road-tested methods for inspiring keen and reluctant young writers to create. Tristan’s method is an outdoor, visual, aural, tech-infused writing adventure. It’s about seeing, hearing and feeling a piece of writing, making it personal. It’s an active approach, proven by Tristan in the writing of his award-winning books and by the tens of thousands of young writers and filmmakers who have taken his workshops. Tristan has recently launched Young Writers’ StorySchool, an online video writing masterclass to help supercharge creative writing in the classroom. He will share the key ideas that underpin his system for inspiring authentic, detailed writing that young people care about and teachers love to read. More on Tristan at www.tristanbancks.com
