| Travel Writing in the 21st Century with Claire Scobie Workshop W12 |

|
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT With the rapid evolution in online communication, travel writing is changing. And changing fast. Today travel writers are thinking about their brand, their image, their next blog post. Writers for print media are honing new skills to stand out among the virtual crowd. Meanwhile bloggers are learning the craft of traditional print journalists. Award-winning author Claire Scobie teaches aspiring travel writers ? or writing travellers ? how to navigate through this new world. This general workshop gives participants a broad understanding of travel writing genres in magazines, newspapers, blogs and online. While having a social media platform is important, it’s also crucial to be able to write compelling copy. The workshop covers: - how to develop an idea and turn it into a polished piece of work - how to craft a story and evoke a sense of place - the use of photographs as ‘eye candy’ - revising, structure and editing. Filled with plenty of practical exercises, Claire gives you the tools to stay ahead of the game. Duration: 6 hours Maximum capacity: 15 participants Workshops | Travel, Non-fiction |
