Then this workshop is for you! \n\nBOOK HERE (£25)\n\nJoin writer &\; creative practitioner Bernadett e McBride for this nature writing workshop at the beautiful Eden Tearoom & amp\; Galleries in Newburgh\, West Lancashire.\n\nThis nature writing work shop will draw on Eden's August to October 2021 exhibition: ‘Inspired by the North West’ featuring a mixture of artwork based on northwest citys capes and countryside.\n\nWe will start with an overview of nature writing and read some of the popular and emerging writers in this genre. Bernadet te will cover the basics from traditional nature writing to new nature wri ting and links to place writing.\n\nWe'll also think about what defines "n ature" writing and discuss the current lack of diversity in this publishin g phenomenon.\n\nCould you be the new voice of nature writing?\n\nThe work shop will consist of a warmup exercise plus two main (nature-inspired) cre ative writing exercises\, which you will be fully guided through. One exer cise will be directly linked to Eden's exhibition so you will get to see t he art too and have something to talk about on your tea break!\n\nWe will share all the writing produced in a small supportive group environment as we go along. Everyone will go home having produced work and with some idea s to further develop their writing.\n\nBernadette will also provide an ext ract from her book Roots which has a chapter set in the Fairy Glen at ne arby Parbold Hill.\n\nYou will be sent optional reading materials ahead of the workshop.\n\nBernadette McBride is the author of Roots: The Eco-jour nal (pub. 2018).

She is a PhD candidate in Creative Writing at the University of Liverpool\, where she teaches creative writing and has developed writing w orkshops on nature\, climate change and place within the English departmen t.\n\nThere is a lack of diversity in nature writing and associated educat ion\, for this workshop\, there will be two free places for those from und errepresented backgrounds.
