jaguar.terrain.org
Offered at Rancho El Aribabi in the beautiful Sierra Azul Mountains of northern Sonora, Mexico, Writing Down the Jaguar is a three-day workshop of classes, lectures, readings, and discussions on the craft and techniques of fine writing about the natural world.
Writing Down the Jaguar is for writers who want to improve and market their outdoor, natural history, and environmental writing, as well as environmental educators and activists who want to improve their writing skills for their work. The morning and afternoon workshops and evening sessions will benefit both professional writers as well as those with a personal interest in writing poetry, essays, journalism, screenplays, or fiction that relates to the themes of nature and environment.
Writing Down the Jaguar provides an intimate group experience for writers — with just four participants plus the instructor per workshop!
Participants will select one of the faculty members with whom they will work on writing, reading, and shared critiques.
- Elemental Poetry, led by Simmons B. Buntin
- Focused on Writing: Combining Words and Images, led by Scott Calhoun
- The Full-Throttle Narrative, led by Ken Lamberton
- Write What You See: Screenwriting, led by Dawn Sellers
The rest of the day offers a range of readings and discussions, with ample time to write and socialize. The teaching faculty is composed of professional writers and editors distinguished in their fields, noted for their teaching abilities, and dedicated to helping participants improve their skills. The cost for the workshop, including travel from Tucson, food, and lodging, is $450 per participant.
Come write down the jaguar with us in the rugged, wondrous Sierra Azul!
