Not sure where to start? The Skillshare brainstorm is a great starting point — in an hour you’ll have a clear sense of what kind of travel book you’re actually writing (memoir? guide? narrative nonfiction?) and the shape it should take.
If you’re already writing, the Udemy course is particularly strong on voice and scene — the two things most travel writers need to develop most urgently.
For travel writers building a body of publishable work, the Author’s Success Bundle gives you personal feedback from me plus every craft and publishing course I offer. Travel writing has more publication opportunities than most writers realize — let’s find the right ones for yours.
