There have been a few people writing me and asking me to either send them, or post on Written Road, what I would’ve said at the travel writing class I was going to teach at the Savvy Traveller. Unfortunately, it’s terribly time consuming to write down what I would be gabbing off the cuff about for three hours. There’s just no replacing face to face energy and addressing the individual needs of who’s in the audience. Besides not having the time for that, I’d rather encourage you to get Don George’s new book on Travel Writing.
Lonely Planet Guide To Travel Writing
There are several books on travel writing already, but Don has heaps of experience and teaches travel writing regularly. Go ahead and get his book, and you’ll be fine. Then you can ask me specific questions and I’ll see if I can answer or get the answer from someone who knows.
In the coming weeks and months I can try and give more basic 101 how to get started info on Written Road, but creating a document or book of how I would teach a class is just not something I can do right now.
I am however working out the details of teaching some workshops next year through BootsnAll, so stay tuned and we’ll let you know when those will be and how much they’ll cost.
Thanks for your patience.
