Travel Writing 101 Workshops, Buenos Aires
Camille Cusumano November 23rd, 2009
If you can write, there’s a reader waiting to read what you have to say. Why not start publishing your prose? The time has never been more auspicious—and I’ll tell you why. If you are coming to Buenos Aires for your first time, be prepared to find inspiration daily in this lively Latin city and its culture, full of surprises.
If you’ve already been here, you know there is so much to write home about.
In these two-day workshops we’ll work on one-two-three simple goals:
1. Crafting and streamlining a creative, publishable travel story.
2. Listing the many outlets and publications, both hard copy and online, where you can send your work for serious consideration.
3. Getting your work sent out now.
• The workshops will be given in the beautiful Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, near easy public transportation, hotels, restaurants, and great shopping. (It’s a $30 taxi ride from Ezeiza Int’l Airport.)
• These workshops will be fun, no-pressure, and full of inspiration. Each one is limited to no more than eight participants.
• Each workshop lasts two full (eight-hour) days, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A typical Argentine lunch (for omnivores and herbivores) is included in the price, along with free beverages throughout the day.
• The workshops are given by me, Camille Cusumano, journalist, book author, and
editor with 30 years in publishing. See my Home Page.
February is summer’s end in Argentina and the living is easy and exciting. March is like September in the eastern United States – still warm and pleasant.
