Come and join us at RSPB Balranald, North Uist, for an afternoon workshop on nature writing. This is a relaxed and friendly workshop where the birds on the machair will be our inspiration.

You can expect to:
- Explore different aspects of nature around the reserve.
- Hear some examples of nature writing.
- Try out some creative writing exercises for yourself.

Our host for the event is Vanessa Wright. Vanessa stays in Lochboisdale and loves to write about the Hebrides. She gave up corporate life during the pandemic, taking the plunge to follow her passion for wildlife. Recently finishing a Masters in Nature and Travel Writing, she has been announced as a Runner-Up in the BBC Countryfile New Nature Writer of the Year competition and has been featured in Bird Watching, Simple Things and Country Walking magazines. She most enjoys writing about birds, butterflies and beachcombing.

 

All writing abilities welcome, this is a relaxed workshop.
