Join Lit Fest author Heather Hansman in this 2-hour workshop. Come with writing supplies and be ready to work on your craft.
Scenes and descriptive stories about landscapes can be the most evocative pieces of literature to read, but they can also be the hardest to write. In a two-hour workshop with environmental journalist, and author of the books Powder Days and Downriver, Heather Hansman, we’ll cover the elements that make descriptive, narrative scenes work well; practice writing exercises; and workshop our own scenes about the places we love and care about. Come with writing supplies and be ready to work on your craft.
Heather is a freelance writer and editor. She writes about a range of things, from butchers to birth control, but, to generalize, most of what she covers happens outside. She likes the intersection of science, adventure, and culture. She is a contributing editor at Outside magazine, and she writes for places like The Guardian, Sierra, and The New York Times. She lives here in Durango, right by the river.
