If you want to be a great travel writer, there’s another thing you must also be able to do. You must know how to have big adventures – because those adventures will spark your boldest stories. So I’ll also share my tips on how to make exciting things happen when you travel – how to find richer cultural experiences and more meaningful personal encounters in the places you visit. (Even if you’re an introvert!)
This course is different from other travel writing courses. It doesn’t just offer tips on how you should write; it also explains how you shouldn’t write.
Lots of people try to break into travel writing. Those who don’t succeed usually blame it on not being talented enough – but that’s often not their real problem. Their real problem is they have adopted a set of habits that are weakening their writing.
Some of the topics we’ll cover include:
Transforming your “rough-draft” travel diaries into compelling personal travel essays with attention-grabbing beginnings, streamlined middles, and meaningful endings – and why you must follow a very different writing style from your “on-the-road” journals when you write travel tales for others to read.
Spotting and capturing the details that make a story sparkle and writing about them in ways that make readers feel like they’re right there with you.
Bringing characters to life through quotes and vivid description, and navigating the ethical and legal issues that come with writing about other people.
Avoiding stale clichés that weigh down potentially great writing and coming up with fresh, original alternatives.
Getting started in travel blogging.
Pitching and selling your articles to newspapers, magazines, and anthology books. (Thousands of newspapers and magazines pay freelance writers more for a single story than you'll pay for this workshop!)
The most common beginners’ mistake that keeps many aspiring travel writers from getting published – and how to fix it.
And tons of other easy-to-act-on writing tips.
