Writers International for Nature and the Environment WINE is a community-based site of people exploring the planet and sharing what they find with others through their writing about nature and the environment. Targeted resources and market guidelines are part and parcel of the site, so too is a newsletter. Members can also take part in a free critique workshop. For newcomers to the form, there's a tutorial to work through that guides you through the early stages of keeping a journal and developing your powers of observation and writing voice. The materials on this site and in the trAce Community Section belong either to the contributors or to trAce.
