Travel Writing course starts Tuesday
There are still places left on The Creative Hub 6-week Travel Writing and Photography Course which starts on Tuesday, 13 September. This course is designed to introduce you to the skills required by expert travel writers, to help you craft your experiences into stories that can be published, and to gain an insight into how the travel industry works and what an editor is looking for. In addition, the course features two travel photography workshops – what sort of pictures are travel editors looking for, and what should you know if you take your own camera on assignment?

As Travel Editor of the New Zealand Herald and, subsequently, Travel Editor of onHoliday Magazine, she has won numerous awards, including Best Tourism and Travel Column in the Qantas Media Awards, Lifestyle Journalist of the Year, two Commonwealth Media Awards, and Cathay Pacific Media Writer of the Year.
