Nell Carroll Turner is a writer and performer who lives near Liskeard. Nell plays with language and dialogue and her writing is creative, poetic, absurd and often a bit wild. She particularly enjoys writing theatre scripts and short stories. Themes include diversity, belonging and nature, always with language play at the core. She loves collecting peoples’ stories, and writing tales based on fact but which swim wildly in the style of magic realism. As well as writing original work, Nell also translates from French and enjoys the creativity of transposing French verse and poetry to make them accessible and relevant. She is currently translating an autobiography of a French writer and poet.
Nell has over 25 years’ teaching experience and holds an MA in Applied Linguistics and an MA in Literary Translation. She is passionate about teaching, having taught creative writing and academic writing at university level. Nell’s stories and plays have been performed in various locations, including theatres, at the Edinburgh Fringe and in a Cattle Market. Her latest play was shortlisted by the Royal Shakespeare Company as part of 37 Plays, a national playwriting project to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s Folio.
