Well, if there’s any theme to the day’s posts, it would have to be travel writing. First of all, you can’t miss our
gadling interview with Lonely Planet’s
Don George. Don is a great guy and offers some excellent advice on how to make it in the world of travel writing.
But here’s more for the aspiring travel writer. Media
Bistro is offering a class in how to make it in the rough and tumble world of travel writing. Here’s what you’ll
learn in the class:
-
What qualifies as an outdoors or adventure story
-
Venues that print those stories (from sports to teen and children magazines)
-
How to generate ideas
-
The best way to approach editors

How adventurous or not you have to be
-

Media Bistro does great stuff, so if you’re in California, give this class some serious thought.
