Writers at the Woolshed: Nature Writing with Dr Inga Simpson
About
'When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world' – John MuirThis nature writing workshop is ideal for fiction and non-fiction writers at all levels with a passion for the natural world. You’ll focus on techniques for bringing landscapes, flora and fauna to life for your audience, including: evocative description, connecting characters to place, effective use of emotion, and the importance of story. You’ll also consider issues such as anthropomorphism vs anthropocentrism, and the challenges faced when writing with an environmental message.
Inga uses a combination of instruction, inspiring examples of nature writing and practical writing exercises, with plenty of opportunity for group discussion. You’ll come away with a stronger understanding of nature writing – past and contemporary, Australian and international – and a practical toolkit for sharing your love of nature on the page.
