Writing great travel stories - Basic

Journalists with experience in writing for print in any genre will benefit from this hands-on course on how to enter the exciting world of travel writing.

Travel writing has its own very specific set of rules, more akin to fiction than features or news. This course addresses these requirements in a very practical way, and participants depart with a good grounding and understanding of whether they have the ability to enter this competitive field.

Participants will learn and practice:

• Critical elements of travel writing and how this differs from other forms of writing
• Travel writing techniques
• Identifying themes and angles
• Effective intros and closers
• Writing sidebars
• Catchy titles
• Analysis of the market
• Table of ideas (harnessing ideas and knowledge)
• Presenting your work
• How photographs increase the earning potential
• Photography tips
