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:
Monday, February 10, 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.

Tuesday, February 11, 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.

Friday, February 14, 5pm EST: Journalistic Detail and Why You Need It
Editors often say they want “researched” and “tight” “copy”, but what does that mean and how do you do it?
In this webinar, the beginning of a new craft-oriented series on uncovering journalistic detail in your field research and incorporating it into different types of pieces, we explore what journalistic detail is, why you need it, and how to know it when you see it.
