Travel Writing Course (Online)

See the world! (Some travel required.)

Do you want to explore the world and be paid for it?
Would you love to see your name in print?
Does your idea of stamp collecting involve a passport and a customs official?

Keen to learn tips, tricks and how to have your adventures fully funded?

If you answered yes to any or all of these, we’ve got just the ticket… Globe jotting.

Travel writing has come a long way in the past few decades. Once the realm of only the hardiest souls, nowadays newspapers and magazines are brimming with stories from all four corners of the planet (and the non-pointy bits in between). If you have a penchant for travel and love telling stories, then travel writing is for you!

Good news travels fast. In five short weeks, you’ll learn a blueprint on how to become a travel writer. That’s right… we’ve distilled what would normally take years to figure out on your own so that you can get published now!

Ever wondered who gets those writing gigs that say “X was a guest of Fancy Resort” at the end of the article? We’ll show you a step-by-step process on how to become a writer funded by resorts, tourism bodies and airlines. You’ll also be given templates, scripts, and insider information on how to deal professionally with editors.

Please note: This course is delivered in 5 modules online via Open Learning. Course Content is available from 9am each Monday with assignments due by midnight the following Sunday. These can be submitted at any point during the week before this timeframe.
