Tuesday, March 26, 5pm EST: Story Structure to Take Your Travel 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 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.

Thursday, March 28, 5pm EST: The Art of the Essay & How to Find Them Everywhere
