Introduction from your host, Fennel Hudson

Hi, I'm Fennel. I created Nature Writer for authors and readers to connect, to enjoy stories about nature, wildlife, rural living, and the countryside. It's for those who love nature and the written word; who listen more, read more, and understand more.

How it came to be

Nature Writer is the evolution of a little publishing business I formed in 1996. Called Fennel's Priory, it had grown to include a dozen sub-brands, including multi-subject books, magazines, a miniature newspaper, a podcast, and more than 320,000 words of blogs.

A lot of output, yes, but it was difficult to find the nature writing that mattered most to me. In gardening terms, Fennel's Priory had become a sprawling bush that needed a good prune. So I treated it to a makeover for its 30th birthday. I cut back the branches to reveal the stem at the heart of everything. Nature Writer was born, and my future focus was secured: I would connect nature writers with readers.
