A six-week online class devoted to writing about birds.

Writing about birds is compelling for a bunch of reasons. Birds are all around us — we don’t have to look far to find one that has a story to tell. They are potent indicators of what's happening to the planet. They are symbols of freedom, fragility, courage, endurance, hope, and spirit. And learning and writing about them can teach us a great deal about ourselves and how we navigate the world. In this class we’ll read and discuss exemplary writing about birds from accomplished writers, work in small groups, take turns reading aloud from our own writing, work with prompts, and give each other feedback and encouragement that will make us stronger, more confident writers.

Dates: Thursday evenings from 6 pm to 8:30 pm Eastern Time, starting on March 21, 2024.

Cost: $250
