The Essence of Travel Writing: Feb. 11 - March 18, 2009
Michael Shapiro, a contributor to National Geographic Traveler and author of A Sense of Place, offers an in-depth course in the art of the travel story. Shapiro will discuss the elements of a successful, modern travel story: connections with local people, dialogue, and anecdotes that show rather than tell.
Participants will emerge with a fully formed travel story ready for submission to a newspaper travel section, magazine or book publisher, such as Bay Area-based Travelers’ Tales which publishes literary travel stories.
A journalist for more than 20 years, Shapiro will share his insider’s knowledge of what publications and their editors are seeking, as well as contact information for editors at leading magazines, newspapers and book publishers. $450 SIGN UP NOW.
