About the Workshops
The one-day travel writing workshops take place both in-person and online. The in-person venue is in central London. The workshop is also simultaneously streamed live and interactively via Zoom, so that online participants have the same engagement as in-person participants. The next workshops will be on Saturday January 25th or Saturday February 22nd. For information on future travel writing workshop dates please email: travelwshop@gmail.com.
The travel writing workshop is aimed at beginners without professional writing experience, as well as journalists and writers who wish to enter travel writing. Content is practical and designed to get you published. You will be given all the tools and help you need to become a travel writer. The travel writing workshop is a one day event - but note the important post-workshop feedback facility detailed below.
The travel writing workshop leader is Peter Carty.
The travel writing workshop fee is £145 (In-Person) or £95 (Via Zoom) . This includes unlimited follow-up coaching and support.

The Travel Writing Workshop's Unlimited Individual Feedback Facility
An important part of the workshop is follow-up coaching and feedback on your travel writing.
After the workshop
In the weeks and months after the workshop Peter will give you as much coaching and feedback as you need. This open-ended facility is extremely useful and very unusual - it is not normally a feature of travel writing courses (or any other type of short course, in fact).
““Since coming on the travel writing workshop I have started to be published in a range of national newspapers and magazines. Peter’s editing help with my drafts has been invaluable.”
