of this course, I finally have a framework for how to put the
experiences together--before it was just a series of ideas and
not as concrete as the assignment's "book review" portrays. It

reality. I will probably need some assistance to make this
happen, but I'm on my way. Thanks for your encouragement."

Travel
writing is a boon for people who love to travel, write and meet and
interact with new people and explore new cultures.
Travel writing
typically records the people, events, sights and feelings of an
author who is touring a foreign place for the pleasure of travel.
Travel writing can be synonymous with an itinerary or a travelogue.
Travel writing is more fun and rewarding than other genres of
writing. Nonetheless, it requires equal dedication, study and hard
work by the author. Travel writing helps you relive memories,
provides information to travelers and evokes interest for people to
visit the place about which is written.
This is a valuable course for amateur
and professional travel writers alike. The ExpertRating Travel
Writing Certification course will help you make your travel writing
more interesting.
Would you
like your writing to make a destination,
restaurant, or festival jump off the page?
Do you want your readers to long to find
their passports, grab suitcases, and have
the post office hold their mail? In this
lesson, you'll start finding out how. This
lesson will cover what you need to know to
get started, how to create different types
of travel writing, and how to begin thinking
and writing like a travel writer, even if
you're only traveling around your own
hometown.
Friday - Lesson 02
Do
you keep notes when you visit
incredible locations? Do you read
about a place before you visit it?
Do you gather tidbits and retell the
stories of your trips, keeping
family, friends, and co-workers on
the edges of their chairs? If so,
you're thinking like a travel
writer. This lesson will focus on
keeping a travel journal and cover
writing techniques you'll use when
capturing your travels. It'll talk
about travel close to home, too.
Then, this lesson will provide some
questions to spark your
travel-writer's brain and share some
tips about organizing your
materials.
Week Two
Wednesday - Lesson 03
The
genres (categories or types) of
articles and essays about travel are
limited only by your own
imagination. Do you want to know how
to write destination pieces, food
articles, round-up pieces, advice,
or personal experience pieces?
That's what you'll learn in this
jam-packed lesson. With this
information, you'll be well on your
way to a career (full or part-time,
mind you) as a travel writer.
Friday - Lesson 04
Are you
addicted to travel books, collections of
travel essays, or books such as Under
the Tuscan Sun? Travel books sell so
well that you'll find many bookstores
devoted specifically to them. In large
stores like Borders and Barnes and
Noble, you'll find sections and shelves
piled high with travel books. Most of
them have specific sections for travel
essay books, too. In this lesson, you'll
learn what it takes to write travel
books that publishers snap up and that
hungry armchair travelers snatch off the
shelves.
Week Three
Wednesday - Lesson 05-
Travel writers should never leave
home without packing their sense of
adventure, sense of humor, and
determination to capture their
travels in image-filled writing
(prose, not poetry). How do they
prepare? That's the focus of this
lesson. This lesson will talk about
organizing materials before you go
on any trip. You'll learn how to
plan the trip, how to contact
publications before going, and how
to dig beneath the surface to find
the story within the story. By
learning these techniques, you'll
discover tricks to capture a
reader's interest.
Friday - Lesson 06
Do you
ask lots of questions? Have you ever
thought that simply asking can provide
some of the best travel tips you could
discover? This is what this lesson will
talk about. Yes—how to ask questions. In
other words, interview to get
information that will put your writing
talents above other writers. Wait!
There's more. This lesson will also talk
about the need to find the perfect title
for your work, how to interview to get
the story beneath the surface, and how
to connect with the people in the
locations you're writing about.
Week Four
Wednesday - Lesson 07
By the time
you've reached Lesson 7, you'll
understand that there are article and
book ideas everywhere. You'll see
possibilities just driving around your
town or city. While these ideas sound
simple, some new writers pass over them
thinking they're, well, too simple to be
effective. This lesson will share
professional tools you can use to tap
into creative juices that will generate
oodles of ideas. This will help you
figure out exactly what readers want. It
may also help you discover what editors
want before other writers come to the
same conclusions.
Friday - Lesson 08
This lesson
will talk about the work of being a
travel writer. You'll learn about taxes
and deductions, how to organize your
home office, and how to select the tools
that you'll need to be a writer. You
probably have many of the tools already.
Later, this lesson will go over ways to
avoid, or get over, that writing bugaboo
known as writer's block. Yes,
there is a cure, even if you've been
down in the dumps with it for weeks,
months, or years.
Week Five
Wednesday - Lesson 09
Most writers
have a difficult time editing their
work. A few are too easy on themselves.
Others are ruthless. These same writers
begin to fear creative urges and what
they commit to paper. This is why this
course hasn’t talked about editing
before. One of the goals with this
course is to get you to enjoy the feel
of words before you go back to pick out
the keepers. In addition to covering
self-editing, in this lesson you'll get
some valuable insights and information
about writing query letters, the
concepts of writing on spec or on
assignment, manuscript production
formats, and dialogue.
Friday - Lesson 10
This lesson
will talk about research and ways you
can find information about a location,
culture, destination, and other travel
writing areas. It'll focus on how to
connect with travel sources. This lesson
will also discuss the issue of freebies,
because, depending on the publication
you're writing for, you may actually
find yourself in a pickle if you accept
something that only seems to be
free.
Week Six
Wednesday - Lesson 11
Don't you
just love the travel photos in
magazines? You have to learn some
photo tricks in order to sell the
photos to accompany your writing.
This lesson will cover basic camera
savvy and helpful picture-taking
techniques along with information on
stock photos. Smart travel writers
take photos to sell along with
articles, making their writing more
desirable to editors and publishers.
This lesson’s talk today won't
instantly turn you into an expert
professional photographer, but it
will help you take better photos.
