David Farley – How to Become a Travel Writer

WE’VE PARTNERED WITH AWARD-WINNING TRAVEL WRITER DAVID FARLEY, author of An Irreverent Curiosity, host for National Geographic, and professor at Columbia and New York University to teach an in-depth course on the nuts and bolts of travel writing.

David is considered one of the top travel writers in the country. He’s hosted a National Geographic Channel show, and his work has appeared in the New York Times, National Geographic Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, AFAR, and countless other publications.

Through video lectures, interviews with successful travel writers and editors, detailed examples of edited stories, graphics, real-world examples, and writing assignments, you’ll get the course David teaches at NYU and Columbia University — with added information for online writing — at your fingertips (and without the cost).

From crafting a story to self-editing, improving your grammar, writing a book proposal, coming up with ideas, creating narrative arcs, and pitching editors, our course covers everything you need to know to succeed as a writer – and even includes templates for pitching editors and David’s actual book proposal.
