How to Write and Share Environmental Stories

Join us for an afternoon of creativity and storytelling with accomplished writers as we explore connections with place, personal stories, and the environment. Megan Mayhew-Bergman is an author, speaker, and Middlebury College professor who will be joined by a representative from the Conservation Law Foundation to guide participants in the ways we can represent the natural world through our writing.

Megan Mayhew-Bergman is an author, speaker, and teacher who writes about the natural world and remarkable women in a science & art-forward way – and likes to help others do the same.

She is the author of three books, Birds of a Lesser Paradise, Almost Famous Women, and How Strange a Season, which Scribner published in March 2022. How Strange a Season was featured as a New York Times Editor’s Choice and in the New Yorker’s Best Books of 2022 list, and was longlisted for the 2023 Joyce Carol Oates Fiction Prize, The Story Prize, and the Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award. She is currently writing a book on the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, also with Scribner. Read her full bio on her website.
