Explore nature writing in the city with Jackee Holder
In this welcoming online writing workshop, you’ll explore nature writing, your own unique perspective of the natural world around you and your place in it. This workshop is part of This Is Our Place, a nature writing project for London.
What will you do in the workshop?
We’ll have some discussions, some reading and lots of writing.
What can you expect?
This is a welcoming space wherever you’re at with your writing. You can expect to come away with some new pieces of writing and new ideas you may want to take further and enter into the This Is Our Place writing competition.
