Travel Writing Course

The Travel Writing Course is for those who love to travel  – and write about it.

Would you like to get paid for the stories you write about your journeys? Then step into the most competitive field in modern professional journalism: travel writing.

Ongoing Assessment

• Your writing is assessed continuously as your course progresses.
• Learn the secrets behind writing an award-winning travel story. Discover how to illustrate your words with great images, how to pitch your work,
• how to conduct interviews, how to research your feature to give it extra depth and, most importantly, how to make an income in this competitive environment.

Over the course of 11 modules and 20 writing assignments, you will be tutored by highly experienced photojournalists who specialise in the field of travel. They’ll take the guesswork and the trial and error out of travel writing by guiding you through every stage of this exciting journey.

You’ll soon learn it’s more than just a blog post about where you went and what you did. It’s about how carefully your traveller’s eye has been honed: do you see the irony, the human interest, the poignancy and the humour in what you encounter?

Do you have the research skills to substantiate your narrative? Can you add images to your words? Can you market yourself to an overworked editor?

Your tutors are always willing to share their knowledge with you, welcoming discussions on the subject of travel journalism and answering any queries you might have.
