Travel Writing: Finding Your Way with Ken Youngblood
August 10, 2024 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Participants will explore how a writer prepares for travel, the writer’s mindset while traveling, and the skills needed to rekindle the experience in the reader’s mind. During the workshop they will experiment with how to choose words, shape sentences and compose the whole of a compelling piece of travel writing. To keep the workshop centered on the participants’ own skills, Ken needs all participants to email him at kedsony@hotmail.com as soon as possible after signing up to tell him why they signed up and what they want out of the workshop. Ken will personally respond.
Enrollment limited to 15, so sign up soon!
