Our @RuralWriting friend @MichelleWerrett wrote a book - ‘Song of the Streams’ - published in Autumn 🎉
Michelle knows #Exmoor, & #rivers, & #ecology. Her words enchant and invite the reader in ✨ With worsening state of UK rivers & nature, her insight is vital (& beautiful)🐟📚

So pleased for & proud of my talented @RuralWriting buddy @NJPitchford for winning the @NaturePrize 🎉
Good to hear extracts from the essays at @KendalBookFest yesterday. I love writing that asks Qs & helps me see the world a little differently - these essays do that 👏

If of interest, in 1 month, I'll be teaching Nature Writing for aspiring & intermediate writers.
The class is live, online, and -- yay! -- global. It is limited to 14 people as I give detailed handwritten feedback on every essay.
What are we reading?

Thank you again to @anicolson for a memorable candlelit after-dinner conversation and reading at Inn on the Lake from your @wainwrightprize The Seabird's Cry.

Such talented fellow writers. I can't wait to find out what creative works will emerge out of these conversations like hay meadow flowers raising their heads to catch the sun.
The Rural Writing Institute@RuralWriting
There are changes and there are transitions -- talking about repatterning our thinking to create space in busy lives of farming and raising families to write.

What an experience! Writing advice by best selling authors @kathrynaalto @herdyshepherd1 combined with learning about fell farming in the Lake District. Thank you all for inspiring and 'conspiring' for better farming!

In this scene I look like I know what to do as a writer: sit in deep thought on a Lake District hillside.
