Travel and Nature Writing, Spring 2027 (Wednesday evenings)

Travel and Nature Writing short course

with Nick Hunt

Wednesday evenings 6pm-8pm

27th January to 24th March 2027 (no class for half-term 17th February)

Arts Complex, 7 Woodland Road, Bristol, BS8 1TB

In this course you will work on developing your experiences - whether at home or further afield - into engaging pieces of prose, drawing on writing from memory as well as from the present. It will include focused writing assignments as well as examining some of the technical aspects of non-fiction writing, with the aim of producing a short finished piece by the end of the course. We will also explore the ethical issues facing travel and nature writers in an age of climate and ecological breakdown. What is a writer's role in these times? How do we write honestly about a changing world?
