It was lovely to chat with @nicolawriting.bsky.social, author of 'Ghosts of the Farm', about her book.

Shortlisted for this year’s #WainwrightPrize, it explores changing rural communities, women’s place in farming and the impact of agricultural change.

It was great to chat with @drmjwarren.bsky.social, author of ‘The Cuckoo's Lea ’.

Shortlisted for this year’s #WainwrightPrize for Nature Writing, the book traces the lost connections between English place names and the species of birds that used to occupy these locations.

"At the end of the day, we're the ones who are really endangered. The natural world will get on very nicely without us."

We chatted with Jackie Morris after her book, The Book of Birds, won the 2026 #WainwrightPrize Book of the Year.

"I think it's good for us to be even-handed about the less picturesque or photogenic aspects of nature. They deserve to be saved too."

We caught up with @calflyn.bsky.social, after her book, 'The Savage Landscape', won the #WainwrightPrize for Conservation Writing.

Shout out to Cal Flynn for winning the 2026 #WainwrightPrize for Conservation Writing.

The Savage Landscape addresses our deep yearnings to be awed and inspired by landscapes that remain beyond our reach and examines what nature gets up to in the absence of humans. www.calflyn.com/books/the-sa...
