January 2025 Creative Nonfiction Writing Class: environmental writing from a personal perspective

Beginning in January, and designed for everyone who loves the world and has ever had an inkling to write, we will meet over Zoom for a two-hour session once a week to learn the craft of creative nonfiction (personal narrative).

The focus of the course is environmental writing and our place in the natural world. Over the course of our five weeks together, we will each develop our own portfolio of writing: reflections, stories, scenes, descriptions and an essay drawn from our own experiences (whether that means you write about the sky above your city block, your connection to a particular landscape, or a butterfly bush in your street🦋).

We developed the course as a way to provide agency and hope as we engage with the environmental crisis of our lifetime: the changing climate. Now more than ever - the world needs your voice!  We welcome all adult writers: from absolute beginners to those with a regular practice.
