Workshop: Landscape Writing
Place and landscapes are often overlooked in stories when they could be used as powerful drivers of character and narrative. This workshop aims to redress this through a series of readings, writing exercises and discussions which assist writers to re-imagine their relationship with the natural world and guide them in new ways of thinking and writing about place.
I’m thrilled to be offering this three-hour interactive workshop at the 2023 Brisbane Writers Festival. Throughout the session I will take writers on a deep dive into their relationship with the natural world, providing them with ideas and strategies to write about landscapes in a way that compellingly transports their representation of place beyond the sensory to the emotional, philosophical and political. All participants need bring with them to this generative workshop is a pen, paper and a passion for the places that sustain us, and a desire to write about them in new and meaningful ways.
