The Sierra Club Nature Writing Handbook: A Creative Guide by John A. Murray


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you enjoy reading from the genre of nature writing, this book is worth owning for its "Bibliography of Works Cited" and "Recommended Reading." I'm sure you would find some new favorites to inspire you.
At the end of each chapter are action items to help the aspiring writer practice the craft. While these items appear simple, they are not easy. They truly challenge you to improve. Perhaps his best advice came in the chapter about workshops, "Taking well-intentioned advice from the wrong source has destroyed or crippled many a work in progress."
