Gotham Writers' Workshop to present online Travel Writing workshop in collaboration with The New York Times Knowledge Network.
Aspiring travel writers can now learn their craft from any location on the globe - so long as they have an Internet connection - when they enroll in Gotham Writers' Workshop's 11-week Travel Writing workshop presented in collaboration with The New York Times Knowledge Network.
This comprehensive online class will be taught by Colleen Kinder, author of the guidebook Delaying the Real World (Running Press), and features a week-long visit with Michelle Higgins, the "Practical Traveler" columnist for The New York Times.
During the first 10 weeks of class, the instructor covers the full spectrum of travel writing from newspaper and magazine articles to guidebooks to travel memoirs and essays. Students learn how to choose destinations and story angles, research ideas, utilize travel resources, craft compelling travel pieces, tailor work for the marketplace, and more. During the final week, the guest columnist answers student questions in a week-long Q&A.
Gotham's online writing classes, selected "Best of the Web" by Forbes, feature everything one would find in the school's popular New York City workshops--lectures on craft, class discussions, writing exercises, and personal feedback from a professional writer. The small class size, only 16 students, facilitates discussion and extensive student-teacher interaction.
Appropriate for the beginning travel writer or an experienced professional, the school's travel writing workshops help participants take their writing to the next level. Busy writers and travelers appreciate the online format that fits any schedule, allowing students to participate in class from home, the office, or an Internet cafe in some distant land.
This Travel Writing workshop begins on May 11, 2010. Early enrollment is recommended as class size is strictly limited. Additional workshops are offered throughout the year.
Interested students can obtain additional information or enroll by visiting NYTKN.WritingClasses.com or calling 1-877-974-8377 toll-free.
Gotham Writers' Workshop also offers a five-week How to Freelance online seminar and eleven-week Article Writing I, Advanced Article Writing, and Food Writing workshops in collaboration with the Knowledge Network.
