News for travel writers: I’m going to be offering my short travel writing course again, through the Writer’s Barn in Shelburne, Vermont. Here are the specifics from the catalogue:

• Travel Writing with Tim Brookes
Six Tuesdays, 6:30-8pm, Jan. 26, Feb. 2, 9, 16, 23, and Mar 1
Nowadays everyone has a travel blog, but very few travel blogs are worth reading: they don’t give the reader a sense of the sights and smells of the places visited, the conversations with locals, the excitement and strangeness of the moment, the insights and reflections offered by the experience as a whole. This short course will expand your sense of what travel writing is all about, and how to convey the full richness of your explorations.
