Beyond the Beaches:
How to Sell Your Travel Writing TAWC038
Traveling to a foreign place often becomes a catalyst for change within ourselves: we depart with anticipation and because our minds are open, we return home somehow... altered. This is experiential travel writing; not just the physicality of the mountain we summited, but also the feelings it gave us. Not a woeful tale of travel mishaps, but what we discovered by surviving them. Experiential writing is about sharing special travel moments. Come and learn how to write and sell your story.

and its creatures will begin to surface as we (re)member we are intimates within a larger community on which all of life depends. With a spaciousness to write (immune from the rules of style and convention), we will listen, converse, play, and tap into the primordial wellspring as we rekindle our enchantment with the wild intelligence of the natural world.
