Start a free account →Nature and environment writing has had a quiet renaissance, with literary attention paid to landscape, climate, animal lives, and the natural-history essay. The label overlaps with memoir, narrative non-fiction, science writing, and travel, but the best of it sounds like nothing else. Robert Macfarlane, Helen Macdonald's H is for Hawk, and the long British tradition from Roger Deakin through to younger climate-era writers have set high expectations for sentence-level care. American writing in the same lane often runs through wilderness, conservation, agricultural change, and indigenous-knowledge perspectives. Some agents specialise in the lyrical end, others in policy-leaning environmental writing or species-and-place reportage. 55+ agents on this page show nature or environmental writing signals. A typical submission is a proposal with sample chapters, and the prose sample carries as much weight here as the subject.
