Crafting the Personal Travel Story

The best travel stories are really stories about life, with lessons for both writer and reader. Travelers Tales Executive Editor Larry Habegger explores the techniques and concepts that develop powerful stories, unearthing kernels of inspiration. He shows how to find the right lead and create the best structure to give a story substance and meaning. He teaches techniques that are appropriate for both short essays and longer narratives. He includes writing exercises to help students find the focus of their stories. He also offers ideas on where and how to get published. Students should come prepared with ideas they’d like to explore.
