For those of you based in New York, here are two spring travel writing workshops.

The editors of National Geographic Traveler are offering the last of their one-day travel writing seminars in New York on May 7, 2006. Topics include: learning the different styles of magazines, conceiving and pitching a story, basic reporting, writing the winning article, and the publication process.
