When: Saturday 18th June, 10.30am-4.00pm

Where: The Newsroom, The Guardian

60 Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3GA

Cost: £85.00

A day of two intensive workshops:

Travel Writing – How to do it and how not to with Dea
Birkett, the Guardian’s Travelling with Kids columnist and
author of Serpent in Paradise and Off the Beaten Track

Fact, Fiction and Creating a Traveller’s Tale with Rory
Maclean, author of Falling for Icarus and Stalin’s Nose

The workshops are followed by practical writing
sessions. Participants should bring pen and paper – they
will be expected to write! The emphasis is – whether you
are a beginner or already have some writing experience – on
developing skills which can be applied to both articles and
books. Our aim is that, by the end of the day, each of you
will have the tools to produce a publishable piece of
travel writing.
