- What's New?

"I like the fact that the class covered every aspect of travel writing. The class for me was quite thought provoking and eye-opening."

- Christina Pouliopoulos
Student

"I learned the real dirt on travel writing, such as the myths and inside information you don't see in general travel writing books. Travel writing books I've gotten at the library tend to blue-sky the occupation, and it was gratifying to know the reality behind this profession."

- Gail Overstreet
Instructional Designer

"I learned about the ins and outs of travel writing. I also picked up helpful ideas, refined my editing skills, and learned a great deal about other people's interests as readers of travel literature."

- Heather Sulzen
Graphic Designer

Travel writing lets us traverse the world on sheets of paper, journeying everywhere from the cobblestone streets of Amsterdam to the brilliant-white beaches of Zanzibar. Reading of travel can provide the inspiration and information to set us in motion or it can transport foreign locales right into our living room.

Travel writing requires you to pack along a sense of adventure, a journalist’s eye, and a storyteller’s flair. In our courses, you will learn about the full spectrum of travel writing—articles, guidebooks, travel memoir and essay—as well as such writing craft elements as description, structure, voice, and angles. You will also learn how and where to market your work.

Whether you seek to write articles or books, we’ll show you how to turn the world into words.
