The glamour of travel writing attracts many people. After all, who wouldn’t want subsidized trips to exotic destinations? But it’s not all easy living. Journalists must concoct ideas, sell them, plan the trip, research extensively in the field and then craft a gripping article. It’s work. Nice work, if you can get it, but a far cry from slobbing on the beach with a margarita.
The six-week course prepares you to enter this competitive and rapidly changing arena. Explore the different types of travel writing, including first-person memoirs, destination guides, historic reflections and news flashes for globe-trotting executives. Learn to devise appealing pitches and target the right editors. Discover the tricks of the trade, from filing taxes to building a journalism portfolio.
