Dear Traveler,
This May in Paris, good friend Lori Appling, Director, AWAI’s Travel Division is running two of their most popular workshop programs together — The Ultimate Travel Writer’s Workshop and The Ultimate Travel Photographer’s Workshop.
The tourists have yet to arrive in May, and so it’s when you discover Paris at its very best. And that’s why she’s scheduled their upcoming workshops there for May 16-19.
A couple years back I attended one of AWAI’s Travel Writer’s Workshops in Paris. It was quite an experience. The workshop was intense, and fast-paced but what I learned really opened my eyes, focused my efforts, and lit a fire of inspiration I needed.
But that’s only half the reason the workshop was worthwhile…
I went because I wanted to know more about the business of travel writing — how to approach editors, write a query letter, what kind of rights I should get when selling an article. And then, of course, there were the perks — the press trip invitations, the hotel upgrades, things like that. I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t interested in learning more about how I could get a hold of some of those.
Well they’re doing it all again — plus more… this coming May and you’re invited.
For their four-day event, you choose the track you prefer — writing or photography. They’ll hold some class sessions together — writers will learn about how to buy a camera and include photos with their articles… photographers will learn how to write the sorts of travel articles that go best with their photographs and how, specifically, to sell them.
Then each group will break off and work separately — photographers on their photos and writers on their articles.
It’s the ideal event to attend with your spouse or a guest as he or she is invited to participate in either track for a very deep discount.
In the Writing Track You’ll Learn…
- The #1 easiest and fastest way to get a by-line and a check
- How to write the kinds of stories editors want to buy
- The easiest kind of article to sell and resell
- How and where to find the best freelance assignments
- How to charm editors into giving your more (and better) assignments
- Six editing techniques that’ll make any writer look like an expert
Plus…
- How to buy the digital camera that’s best for you
- How to include photos with your articles and not only increase your chances of landing a by-line, but earn more, too
In the Photography Track You’ll Learn…
- The difference between an average snapshot and a $10,000 photograph
- How to break into online stock agencies and the local fine art market to sell your photos
- The ins and outs of dealing with models and model releases
- Pro-level Photoshop® techniques that’ll make any photographer look like an expert
- How to sell the photos you take on this trip
Plus…
- How to write stories around your photographs to sell them to magazines and newspapers
- How to use travel articles to double your success (and your income)
Join Lori and colleagues to find out just how easy it can be as a writer or photographer to explore the world, meet new people, and enjoy the freedom and independence of an income, no matter where in the world you choose to live.
