Epiphany in Place: Writing the Environment
Are you in the early stages of a written project that centres on nature and the environment? Do you need the structure and discipline of a guided course to help you stick to your goals? Are you looking for a peer group for support while you develop your writing and close reading skills? Join the bestselling author of Islands of Abandonment, Cal Flyn, for a six-month course focusing on nature writing, awareness of landscape, rich description and expressing that all important 'sense of place'—all useful skills to develop whatever your medium: journalism, nonfiction, fiction or poetry.
The writing group will offer an opportunity for tuition, written exercises, private feedback and meaningful discussion within a supportive group of writers sharing similar goals. Over four, two-hour-long sessions, Cal will analyse some of the most notable writers in the field, breaking down why they are so good at what they do, before leading discussions and setting thought-provoking exercises. Throughout there will be plenty of opportunity to reflect on your own project, aims, and things that you find difficult. Each participant will also have two 30-minute sessions one-on-one with Cal to discuss your progress and ambitions.
Time: 18:00 GMT
