About the Travel Writing Evening Class
About The Travel Writing Evening Class
The travel writing evening class take places both in-person and online. The in-person venue is in central London. The evening class is also live streamed simultaneously and interactively via Zoom, so that online participants have the same engagement as in-person participants. The next evening class will start on Wednesday June 19th. For information on future travel writing evening classes please email: travelwshop@gmail.com.
The travel writing evening class is an alternative to the one-day workshop. Over four evenings you will learn everything you need to know to become a travel writer. The evening class includes the same post-course support as the travel writing workshop. You will receive unlimited individual advice and coaching after the evening classes finish for as long as you need it. This facility is not normally available from an evening class or any other type of short course.
The travel writing evening class leader is Peter Carty.
The travel writing evening class fee is £135 (In-Person) or £89 (Via Zoom), including unlimited post-course advice and coaching. The fee can be kept this low because you are dealing directly with Peter and there is no middle-man or institution involved. Also, there is no padding out with unnecessary extra sessions: the four evenings plus the unlimited post-course support are definitely all you need to get under way.
