Pennwriters - Travel Writing with Rich Rubin
- Item #: Pennwriters - Travel
The class will consider not only the question of "how do I turn the travel I love into a story?" but also more practical issues, such as dealing with a magazine/newspaper world that is shrinking daily. How does someone go about earning a living when magazines are folding and newspapers are in increasingly precarious shape? How do you overcome the tendency away from using freelancers? What opportunities exist in other media. What might be the interest of non-travel magazines, and how can a writer gear a travel story to their area of interest? And how can a writer make the move from "I've always loved to travel" to "I'm capable of being paid to write about travel?"
