Writing the Journey: The Art and Craft of Travel Writing

Have you ever traveled and thought it would make a great story? Or will you be traveling and want to write about it?

Narrative travel writing can be one of the most powerful forms of nonfiction writing. This workshop will explore what makes a great travel story, what doesn't, and how you can turn your travels into tales. We will read selections from the Best American Travel Writing 2009, along with other great works of travel literature. We will discuss leads, structure, and the archetype of the journey and touch on the various markets for literary travel writing.
