But we also air a free replay of one of our travel writing classes each and every weekday.

Here’s what we’ve got for you this week:

Wednesday, November 13, 5pm EST: Article Nuts and Bolts: Putting Together a Postcard Piece
Join us as we begin this new segment of our Article Nuts and Bolts series with the elusive “postcard.”
Its trivial name suggests many things, and a well-written postcard creates all of those sense memories and more. “Postcards,” which offer an atmospheric moment in a place, are dying art, but an excellent one for those in travel writing for the writing aspect.

Friday, November 15, 5pm EST: Story Structure to Take Your Travel Feature Articles to the Next Level
Whether you’ve been scared of taking the leap into features because you’re “not that kind of writer” or have been wanting to move into features (or even starting to get those assignments) but spend an inordinate amount of time trying to research and structure those pieces so it feels like more work than it’s worth, this webinar is for you.
We’ll explore classic story structures that have been employed, literally, for millennia to guarantee an interesting story as well as travel feature-specific story structures that will have you turning out stories in an hour or two each.
