A community of published authors, professional journalists and aspiring writers who write about things environmental
News
Environmental Writing Awards
We are introducing two Literary Awards, one to encourage young environmental writers (under 25s) to engage in the work we do, and another to reward Environmental Book authors who have written about matters that mean the most to us in our fight to save what we can of the planet (over 25s).
Society Imprint
To help increase our presence and visibility, we are now able to offer the Society’s logo as an imprint for members’ books. Please get in touch if you’d like to take advantage of this. We’ve also established an academic imprint so that we can assist members to publish their papers on academia.edu and ResearchGate.
We’re running a podcast series for the Global Birdfair, one of the world’s biggest festivals of nature and conservation. Please take a look.
