Reviews

"This book will help you learn how to really see and come more fully alive. I love it!"
-- Penney Peirce, author of Frequency

"Before I was a full chapter into Tina Welling's book, I found myself breathing more deeply; by chapter 2, I was outside -- with the book, my notebook, and a pen....What a gentle guide and rich companion for explorations of our wilderness -- both inside and out."
-- Judy Reeves, author of A Writer's Book of Days

"Tina Welling says, 'Writers need nature.' I can hardly wait to introduce my writing students to this book -- and encourage them to write outside, to get a word-tan, to let rain hit their journal pages, and to sit in the elements they are trying to describe -- both inner and outer."
-- Christina Baldwin, author of Storycatcher

"A thought-provoking read not only for writers but for anyone who wants to deepen their connection to the world around them."
-- Kyle Mills, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists

"This book is as delightful as it is thoughtful. Spend a day with Tina Welling in the woods and feel your writer's heart burst open on the page."
-- Susan Chernak McElroy, author of Animals as Teachers and Healers

"Writing Wild is an impressive guide to feeling, seeing, thinking, and writing about the beauty, sadness, and wonder of life. Tina Welling has created a gift for us all."
-- Tim Sandlin, author of Rowdy in Paris
