But we also air a free replay of one of our travel writing classes each and every weekday.
Each weekday at 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 10pm GMT / 11pm CET (and 9am AEDT Tues-Sat), we show one webinar from our archives, rotating through all of them over the course of four months.
Here’s what we’ve got for you this week:
Monday, September 21, 5pm EST: What Types of Articles Should You Be Writing?

Tuesday, September 22, 5pm EST: Secrets to Successful Interviews for Your Travel Articles
If you come into travel writing from a non-journalism background, the prospect of conducting official interviews can be daunting.
This week, we’ll cut past the anxiety and unpack exactly what you do and don’t need to know about doing interviews to flesh out your articles–and how learning to rock them can make your writing process much faster and more effective.

Wednesday, September 23, 5pm EST: Securing Interview Sources to Make Your Stories Sing
I’m always shocked when I see people selling lists of contacts at tourism boards. They aren’t hard to find! And, you’d be shocked how many (important!) people are not only available, but very happy to speak with you for your articles. We’ll look at how to find the right people for each piece.
