ABOUT THIS MINI-CLASS
​
Are you a nature lover who yearns to write in ways that inspire wonder? Do you want your nature writing to feel less dry and more exciting?  This mini-class will give you tools to access your personal experience with nature and get it on the page, all while including STEM education to make your book more marketable. 
Let’s write to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch the world, and make gorgeous books about it!
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
  • How to fill up your sensory experience bank, and use your five senses to write. Quality input = quality output.
  • Learn the OTHER five senses we can use. Nell shares her official Nell’s Nature-Writing BONUS five senses to take your story from meh to magical.
  • Case Study: CAVES. Nell shares her in-depth, step-by-step from inspiration to messy first draft, emphasizing sensory experience and emotions, collecting photo inspiration to keep your senses active, the revision process, and how she always keeps the senses at the heart of the story.
​WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
  •  "It is the inspiration I needed to continue writing picture books."
  • "Your class, by the way, was probably the best one I ever took. You are right up there with all the superstars at Storyteller Academy!"
  • "I loved lesson 1. Off for a woodland walk tomorrow. I've already scribbled draft one of an idea. Thanks Nell this course is just the thing I needed for my nature-loving soul."​
  • "A story that I have been working on for months, has needed a bit more pizazz.  I had not been able to determine what it needs until taking this class."
