In writing about the natural world, we need to write with both a sense of wonder and a scientist's eye. We can do this through creative nonfiction. While it may seem that those two words - creative and nonfiction - don't go together, they really do. The genre is all about telling true stories using accurate facts about real life., but doing so in a vivid, enthralling manner that reads every bit as compelling as fiction. Writers of creative nonfiction can supply information while being humorous, inspirational, and wildly creative at the same time. Come try your hand at nature writing.
20% off by January 31st. The last day to register for in-person attendance is March 16 (walk-in registration available if there are still spots open in the workshops)
