Writing "World Travels & Travel Writing: T... 13.11.2008 13.03.2009 Live your travels over again by writing about them, and become a travel writer in the process.  Join award-winning travel author Laurie Gough in a seminar focusing on the specifics of launching a travel writing career. You’ll learn that to be an effective travel writer you must lead the reader into the wonder and terror of the place you’re describing, always remembering that your experience can only be conveyed through details. We’ll discuss ‘finding’ the story and how this isn’t something you can anticipate before leaving; traveling for a story as opposed to traveling for travel’s sake; the various types of travel writing; how the ‘quest’ makes for a good travel story; travel journals; the ups and downs of travel writing as a career; and ideas on how to proceed in today’s changing market.  We’ll also be doing creative writing exercises to get your mind flowing.
