This course is designed for writers seeking advanced skills in the growing field of creative non-fiction inspired by the natural world and contemporary journeying; the course focuses on the application of writing skills to match the requirements of the travel and nature-writing sector; students learn from engagement, encounter, workshop, tuition and mentoring; they develop their professional practice and produce a portfolio of work to help establish their careers in this highly-competitive field.
The course begins with an intense 6-day residential session for induction; introduction to distance learning; taught modules and mentoring sessions; the 1st 2 semesters involves writing regular pieces which are critiqued by tutors and peers; through a business and context module, students can explore the ethics, history and development of a particular area of travel and nature writing; the 2nd residency takes place in January or February; throughout the course students develop a portfolio of their best work and a journal tracking their submissions to publications; in this they are supported by a mentor; the 3rd residency involves fieldwork, normally outside the UK.
