Creative Environmental Writing Workshop for Environmental Educators
with Author Cassie Premo Steele, Ph.D.
Congaree National Park
Tuesday, July 23, 9-11AM

Have you ever wondered how to turn your passion for the environment and knowledge about science into creative writing that is effective and emotionally compelling?

Join us for a generative writing workshop and discussion with an environmental author and writing coach. The workshop will take participants on a 2-mile walk through the Congaree National Park while exploring different genres of writing from journaling to poetry and fiction. Participants will have the opportunity to generate new writing in a safe and supportive way. After the workshop, participants will be able to ask questions and engage in a lively discussion about the important connections between environmental awareness and contemporary literature.
