Nature Writing Course
Introduction and course overview
Welcome to this online nature writing course. I’m so pleased you’ve joined and I’m looking forward to walking alongside you on this creative journey.
This course has been designed and delivered because I truly believe in the power of nature writing and the necessity for society to deepen its relationship with the natural world.
Through this course you will learn about the concept of nature writing, why it matters in these modern times, and how to develop your craft.
Like any course, you will get out of it as much as you put into it. By setting aside time without distractions (turning off email notifications and putting your phone on silent mode) you will find it much easier to focus. Developing a routine is also helpful, perhaps you will aim to work on this course for 30 minutes after breakfast, or an hour before bed. This routine can develop into a long-term habit in which you concentrate on your creativity at a particular time of day.
The time you require for this course will depend on how you approach it. There are ten learning modules in this course. Each module contains an explanatory video under 10 minutes in length. This is accompanied by a worksheet with activities, writing prompts, and resources for deeper dives into nature writing.
It’s my hope that you will find these modules helpful and thought provoking, and that you will return to them time and time again.
The materials you need will depend on how you approach your writing. You can use pen and paper, your computer, you can record images and sounds if you like with a camera, phone or audio recording equipment.
There is no assessment or work submitted with this course. This is self-paced learning designed to build your skills and confidence with nature writing.
I hope you find this course both enjoyable and thought provoking, and that by the end of it you have a greater understanding of nature writing and are inspired to share nature’s story.
