Environmental Nonfiction Short Course

About
Newcastle Writers Festival and The University of Newcastle’s School of Humanities, Creative Industries and Social Sciences are collaborating to offer a month-long intensive creative writing short course.The course is designed for writers eager to explore narrative nonfiction as a means of engaging with the environment, balancing artistry with advocacy and invites aspiring authors to reflect on their interactions with the natural world through a personal lens, while navigating the complex intersections of subjective experience and objective realities such as climate change, capitalism, and colonisation. It includes in-person workshops and weekly online conversations with authors.
The course will be led by Keri Glastonbury (Newcastle Sonnets) and includes special guests Joanna Atherfold Finn (Plastic Free: The inspiring story of a global movement and why it matters), James Bradley (Deep Water: The World in the Ocean), and Lauren Fuge (Voyagers: Our journey into the anthropocene).
