Nature Writing Beyond Landscape – Scottish Writers Centre, Glasgow

Writing The World Around Us

13 March,2018 –7 p.m.

Scottish Writers Centre, CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street, G2 3JD

“The best environmental art, then, is deconstructed from the inside. As theory it retains its fullest existence as questioning—internally fractured by a doubt […]”
—Timothy Morton

This two-part workshop will have participants discussing a selection of different definitions of nature, the environment, and our surroundings, in terms of what constitutes a world. These ideas will flow into an auto-writing session during which participants will create a piece of new writing.
After a short break, we’ll be taking a closer look at editing, with close consideration of form, structure, and tone. The aim is to respond directly to ecological themes in creating a piece of writing that enacts ecological thought in both form and content.

Participants are encouraged to bring along their preferred writing utensils. Spaces for this event are limited and open to all, so if you would like to book a place please contact us at info@scottishwriterscentre.co.uk.

Tickets: £6/(£3), Free for SWC Members
