Environmental journalist Todd Wilkinson will lead July 12 Writers in the Park workshop
Featured News | July 1, 2014
From a Writers in the Park press release:
The Grand Teton Association offers free workshops for writers of any level or genre on the second Saturday of each summer month through September. Tina Welling, local author, facilitates the workshops.
The guest writer for Saturday, July 12, is Todd Wilkinson of Bozeman, Montana.
Todd is best known as an environmental journalist and author with assignments that have taken him around the world. He has lived in the West for a quarter century and began his career as a violent crime reporter with the City News Bureau of Chicago, a legendary training ground for journalists whose alums include novelist Kurt Vonnegut, investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Slate.com editor Jacob Weisberg.
Wilkinson is author of several books, including the recent, critically acclaimed “Last Stand: Ted Turner’s Quest to Save a Troubled Planet.” He also pens a widely-read column for the Jackson Hole News & Guide called “New West.” He worked for that newspaper back in the 1980s.
In his workshop “The Liberating Wilds,” environmental journalist Todd Wilkinson will join participants in Grand Teton National Park for a lively conversation about how aspiring writers can organize their storytelling and free themselves from procrastination by immersing themselves in nature.
We will meet at 9:00 am at the flagpole in front of the park Visitors Center in Moose rain or shine. From there we will go to a good place to write and talk together. Bring paper and pen, appropriate outdoor clothing for variable weather conditions and, if you like, water and something to sit on. The workshop ends at noon.
