“HOW TO WRITE AND SELL TRAVEL ARTICLES”
Next workshop in early 2012
Keep an eye on this page for the next workshop on “How to Write and Sell Travel Articles”, led by Kate Simon, former Travel Editor of the Independent on Sunday.
Students can sign up for £99 per day. Plus one place has been reserved for full-time students, at the lower price of £50 per day.
Who is the course aimed at?
The course will appeal to anyone interested in discovering if they’ve got what it takes to turn their travels into paid work – including aspiring journalists and writers, journalists working in other subject areas, and specialists in alternative fields of communication such as media relations. It will also benefit newly published travel writers who are interested in sharpening their selling and writing skills.
Using a mix of expert advice, in-depth discussion and practical exercises, students will learn how to identify possible markets, devise angles and keep up with trends, discover how best to pitch and approach commissioning editors, how to sustain a career in travel journalism, and how to write successful travel features. This lively, intimate workshop is limited to a maximum 12 participants on each day. Morning and afternoon tea, coffee and biscuits, plus water, will be provided.
