In this interactive, inclusive workshop for writers of all experiences, through a series of group discussions and individual writing exercises, you will learn tools and techniques to help you write creatively about wildness, nature and ecology.
By the end of the workshop, you will have the start of several ideas you can then further develop.

The workshop will be delivered by local writer James McDermott whose poetry collections include Father Myself oraz Wild Life, which explores the nature of queerness and queerness of nature. His plays published by Samuel French include It Comes In Waves, Jab, Time & Tide oraz Rubber Ring.
