Travel writing weekend curated by Andy Pietrasik

 

A two-day crash course in travel writing and journalism with some of the Guardian and Observer's experts

 

Think travel writing is all long-form features and books? Think again. In this intensive weekend held in the Guardian offices with some of its best travel journalists, you'll cover the many different aspects of writing about travel today.

In revealing and practical sessions with plenty of opportunities for questions, you'll cover travel writing and journalism as it is today: the craft of long-form writing, multimedia (including photography), how to blog, how to pitch, what print and online editors are looking for (and what they're definitely not), and more.

Speakers include: Andy Pietrasik (Guardian Head of Travel), Tom Hall (Lonely Planet Travel Editor), Kevin Rushby (the Guardian's Explorer columnist and multi-media correspondent), Benji Lanyado (web producer for the Guardian), Gemma Bowes (editor of the Guardian Travel supplement), and Isabel Choat (online travel editor for the Guardian).

This course is aimed at enthusiastic travellers – no matter the destination! – and is intended to give a unique insight into those who work as travel writers.


Dates: September 8 & 9

Timings: Saturday & Sunday; 10am-5pm

Location: Guardian HQ, 90 York Way, N1 9GU
