Join our welcoming panel of authors to learn the good, the bad and the ugly about writing and publishing outdoor-themed books, blogs, web content, and articles; and even how we make money. We’ll also talk about addressing outdoor ethics, the challenges of crowded trails and parks and how to mitigate overuse, reaching diverse audiences, and respectfully including Indigenous context. We also want to hear from you and look forward to your questions.
