All Levels. Travel writing sounds too good to be true. You head off to France, Hawaii, or the Swiss Alps, take some notes, shoot some photos, and then write articles that sell for enough to pay for the entire trip. This course will introduce you to the fundamentals of travel writing, including scenic writing, creating suspense, point of view, and how to pitch those stories to an editor at a magazine, newspaper, or website.
Due to COVID-19, all classes will take place online-either through Zoom or through Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform-through Spring quarter 2021.
All times are listed in Pacific Time.
