Writing The Personal Travel Essay
The best travel writing transports readers and inspires wanderlust. Travel essays do that while also engaging the reader with a great yarn about a personal experience — often while also exploring larger questions about how travel changes us or the way we see the world. This three-hour course will cover the art of vivid description, essay structure and topics, avoiding cliches and the nuances of the marketplace.
