I'm a freelance travel writer, a bestselling author, and writing and creativity coach. I've worked in more than 50 countries as a freelance travel writer, workshop presenter, and international tour guide. I help people write amazing tales about their journeys. If you have dreams of becoming a travel writer - whether it's so you can publish your work professionally, create a popular personal travel blog, or just write about your travels for the fun of it - I can help you achieve your goals. Beginning travel writers: If travel writing is something you've wanted to break into, but you haven't known how to get started, this course will teach you all you need to know to begin writing lively and exciting travel tales today. Intermediate travel writers: If you've done some travel writing before, but you want to create more polished, compelling stories - stories that stand out in the crowded arena of aspiring travel writers - this course will help you hone your skills, and it will give you a clear understanding of how to succeed in the writing business and get published. Follow these lessons, and I guarantee you will see an immediate improvement in your writing. You'll learn skills you can start using right away - and skills that will evolve and get even better over time as you keep writing. You'll gain a clear understanding of the techniques professional writers use to write captivating travel essays, and you'll discover your own, unique writing voice. Some of the topics we'll cover include: Transforming your "rough-draft" travel diaries into compelling personal travel essays with attention-grabbing beginnings, streamlined middles, and meaningful endings - and why you must follow a very different writing style from your "on-the-road" journals when you write travel tales for others to read. Spotting and capturing the details that make a story sparkle and writing about them in ways that make readers feel like they're right there with you. Bringing characters to life through quotes and vivid description, and navigating the ethical and legal issues that come with writing about other people. Avoiding stale clichés that weigh down potentially great writing and coming up with fresh, original alternatives. Getting started in travel blogging. Pitching and selling your articles to newspapers, magazines, and anthology books.

The most common beginners' mistake that keeps many aspiring travel writers from getting published - and how to fix it. And tons of other easy-to-act-on writing tips. If you want to be a great travel writer, there's another thing you must also be able to do. You must know how to have big adventures - because those adventures will spark your boldest stories.

(Even if you're an introvert!) This course is different from other travel writing courses. It doesn't just offer tips on how you should write; it also explains how you shouldn't write. Lots of people try to break into travel writing. Those who don't succeed usually blame it on not being talented enough - but that's often not their real problem. Their real problem is they have adopted a set of habits that are weakening their writing. Over the two decades I've been teaching travel writing workshops, I've identified a series of common mistakes beginning writers make. These mistakes weigh their writing down, and hold them back from writing to their full potential. These habits are easy to fix once you know how to spot them in your own work. This course teaches you how. In addition to more than three hours of information-packed videos, this workshop also includes a series of writing exercises to help you practice what you've learned, and an online discussion forum where you can ask me questions whenever you like and talk about your writing our international community of more than 9,500 writing students.

I'm here to help! (I also offer in-depth critiquing and one-on-one coaching for an additional fee - but we're getting ahead of ourselves.
