EVENT PRODUCTION

I’ve produced and moderated hundreds of events ranging from traditional bookstore author talks to multi-day conferences to ticketed parties with live performances. As moderator and speaker, I’ve led panel discussions with award-winning authors, emcee’d literary parties and fundraisers, and conducted in-depth interviews with authors and other creatives.

SPEAKING

I’ve been invited to speak or been interviewed on the business of independent publishing, literary publicity, and creative practice by organizations and institutions such as The Los Angeles Review of Books, New York University, BOMB Magazine, Georgia State University, the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses, Publishers Weekly, and the Independent Publishers Caucus, among others.

TEACHING & FACILITATION

I teach classes and workshops centered on creative practice & creative attention, with an eye towards multidisciplinary artistic exploration. It’s my goal to help each person discern the unique creative practices, habits, and perspectives that work best for them.

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH ME:

“With all the stresses of college and early adulthood, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to connect with the creativity that I felt when I was much younger. Nadine taught me ways that I could foster that creativity even within the structure of my busy day-to-day life. I really recommend [her class] to other writers struggling to make time for their creative practice.” — Kari White

“Your words resonated profoundly and helped crystallize my aspirations like never before. I left our meeting feeling renewed direction, confidence, and enthusiasm—what a precious gift! Thank you for providing such encouragement and wisdom at this formative time in my life.” —Ngoc D.

“Thank you for such a fulfilling, creative experience. I feel like I've been taking my creative practice a lot more seriously and referencing the resources and materials you shared so often. All the work you put in definitely paid off! I will cherish our shared time!” —Mari A.
