Writing About the Natural World …

 

… Without Boring the Heck out of Your Readers. That’s the name of a great new online class being taught by Sandra Gail Lambert in March 2018.

Lambert will “use a variety of techniques and readings that will help revise our descriptions of the natural world (in any genre of nonfiction or fiction) in ways that develop our characters and plots rather than obscure them. The fourth week will be reserved for individual conferences (Skype or phone calls), where I’ll give feedback on your individual pieces (up to 5000 words) and help develop a submission plan if that is requested.”

Here’s a link to a description of the ourse and more info about Lambert.
