Travel Writing

Travel writing is not a diary of where you went, it is a shaped narrative that makes a reader feel a place and understand why it mattered. This course moves from raw field notes to revised, submittable work using the tools working travel writers actually use: structured field observation, the four-part scene, the outer-and-inner journey, and place as character. You will leave with a notebook system, polished scenes, a finished travel essay, and a researched plan for pitching editors.
