Do you love to travel? Keep a travel journal? Why not take the next step and turn your daily scribbles into salable articles? You can do this by learning two things: 1) how to improve your storytelling abilities, and 2) how to market your work. "I'll lead you through the steps of writing a travel story and then targeting and querying your markets [short story anthologies, newspapers, magazines and ezines]," says instructor Lisa Alpine. "We'll also discuss ways to generate other travel-related sources of income, such as writing press releases and doing guidebook research. Whether you're writing about your neighborhood or rafting down the Zambezi, you can develop specialty travel angles that open up publishing avenues beyond the Sunday Travel Section - and still pay well." So come launch your career as a travel writer! $95
