Nature and Environmental Writing
|
On September 14th at 6:30pm, learn the tricks of the writing trade and how to elevate your nature writings.
Drawing from his extensive experience as an award-winning published author, Ray Zimmerman will guide you through the art of crafting vivid descriptions, evoking emotions, and capturing the essence of the natural world through words. This workshop will include time to write and share your writing if you choose, but we will begin with a pertinent question. Why should I write, or read about nature? The facilitator will share a few resources for writers and present exemplary works by notable nature writers. Participants will have time to say what they like (or don’t like) about the samples. Following the examples, the participants will have time to write. They may choose to respond to the natural environment at the workshop location, one of the sample works, or other visual prompts provided by the presenter. Nature writing can include nonfiction, poetry, and fictional works. This event is for the whole family! Tickets are $3 for members and $8 for non-members.
