Writing the Landscape – A Day with Author Linda Cracknell

About Writing the Landscape – A Day with Author Linda Cracknell

Join Linda Cracknell for a morning’s gentle walking, observing and structured creative activities in the inspiring Forest of Birse, returning to the Old School, Finzean in the afternoon to write.

Linda Cracknell is an Aberfeldy-based writer of fiction and non-fiction. Walking and immersion in the natural world are essential to her craft as espoused in books such as Writing Landscape and Doubling Back: Ten paths trodden in memory. Her workshop in the Forest of Birse and area will give you ways of exploring places through words and encouraging, through structured tasks, both close attention and imaginative freedom. We will be outdoors and note-taking in the morning and after lunch we will move to consolidating our writing indoors. No prior experience is necessary, just a will to refresh our ways of looking and writing.
Venue: The Old School, Finzean (parking available)
Cost: £30 per person (we have one free place, please let us know if you would like to be considered for this BCToffice@birsecommunitytrust.org.uk).

Linda will bring some of her books for sale, cash only.

Please bring your lunch. Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided.

This event is supported by the Scottish Book Trust and Aboyne Arts and Theatre Development Group.
