"I like the fact that the class covered every aspect of travel writing. The class for me was quite thought provoking and eye-opening."
- Christina Pouliopoulos
 Student
"The instructor provided an invaluable insider's point of view…. This Gotham class allowed me to take part in dialogues with people from Croatia to Washington State, on topics from an encounter with Mother Theresa to peddling a pedicab in California. I loved the disparate points of view and the extravagant variety of travel experiences that were shared online!"
- Teri Albert

Travel writing lets us traverse the world on sheets of paper, journeying everywhere from the cobblestone streets of Amsterdam to the brilliant-white beaches of Zanzibar.  Reading of travel can provide the inspiration and information to set us in motion or it can transport foreign locales right into our living room.

Travel writing requires you to pack along a sense of adventure, a journalist’s eye, and a storyteller’s flair.  In our courses, you will learn about the full spectrum of travel writing—articles, guidebooks, travel memoir and essay—as well as such writing craft elements as description, structure, voice, and angles.  You will also learn how and where to market your work.

Whether you seek to write articles or books, we’ll show you how to turn the world into words.
