Anyone can be a Nature Writer!

This course is suitable for beginners and those who would like to experiment with different forms of writing (including life writing, poetry, flash fiction and free writing) in a warm and supportive atmosphere. Louisa is passionate about connecting with nature as a way to improve our sense of wellbeing, and as a talented poet and writer of prose, recognises how combining the two is a wonderful thing to do.
