Travel Writing Workshop

3 Credits

Students will learn the fundamentals of travel and destination-based writing, with the opportunity to practice the craft in various formats, from personal narratives to feature writing to service journalism. They will develop the necessary skills to write compellingly and sensitively about travel, avoiding cliches and cultural faux pas. Occasional guest lecturers working in the field will shed further light on these topics. Interested students will have the chance, with guidance from their instructor, to pitch or to send finished pieces on spec to local or special Italy-interest publications.
