Author Talk with Local YA Author Nathan Reid-Welford: Keswick Branch--Tuesday, July 11 |
|
Author Talk with Local YA Author Nathan Reid-Welford Join local Young Adult author Nathan Reid-Welford who will share his writing journey, how he came to love writing, and the process of writing his book, The Game of Wits. He will also read from his book and participate in a book signing and Q&A. About the Author: Nathan Reid-Welford can't remember a time when he didn't love to read books and write his own stories. He wrote and illustrated his first picture book about pirates when he was in kindergarten (ensuring his future was not in art). The next step in his writing journey was a short story about ninjas that he wrote in grade three. As he got older, Nathan was influenced by the spy/action genre of books and films. After writing short stories and fan fiction he was inspired to begin writing his first novel Colin Harris: The Game of Wits, centred around a young adult protagonist. Beginning his first draft in grade seven, Nathan continued to rewrite and revise until the story was ready to be published, officially being released on December 19th 2022. The Game of Wits is intended to be the first release of a larger Colin Harris series. Nathan grew up in Keswick. He is a graduate of W.J. Watson Public School, and Keswick High School. He is now studying English-Writing and Business-Marketing at Redeemer University in Ancaster, on the outskirts of Hamilton, where he is working on a career in some form of journalism or public relations alongside writing stories and novels. Nathan is also a musician and songwriter, playing drums and guitar, and he enjoys cross country running. |
