Writing Wild – Creative writing using wildlife as inspiration @ RSPB Campfield Marsh
Jul 13 @ 11:00 – 13:00

Solway Coast NL writer-in-residence Susan Cartwright-Smith will help you unlock your inner creativity to use the written word to bring nature to life. We will explore this fantastic reserve, spending time outside collecting ideas and trying a few different activities to inspire our writing. The workshop is suitable for absolute beginners and you don’t have to have any previous experience of creative writing. The session will last approximately 2 hours, but you are welcome to bring a packed lunch and spend some time after lunch having a look around and doing some more wildlife watching.

This is a short workshop aimed at beginners and it’s free of charge although booking is required as numbers are limited.
