"We keep each other alive with our stories. We need to share them, as much as we need to share food. We also require for our health the presence of good companions. One of the most extraordinary things about the land is that it knows this—and it compels language from some of us so that as a community we may converse about this or that place, and speak of the need."
(Barry Lopez)
This one day masterclass is an ideal opportunity for you to explore Olvar Wood Writers Retreat, and develop your nature writing skills. Join Mark Tredinnick in a masterclass designed to help you build on the skills you already have.
Through a hands-on, interactive masterclass, you will be guided through a range of ways to improve your nature writing skills.
Each participant will be asked to submit a sample of your nature writing - up to 5000 words - four weeks before the masterclass.
Mark will read your story and provide individual, written feedback. Reading your stories will also help him pitch the masterclass to your particular needs.
