The workshops are followed by practical writing sessions. Participants should bring pen and paper - they will be expected to write! The emphasis is - whether you are a beginner or already have some writing experience - on developing skills which can be applied to both articles and books. Our aim is that, by the end of the day, each of you will have the tools to produce a publishable piece of travel writing. We hope to build up a community of those interested in travel writing, by providing opportunities for participants to submit work they have completed after the course for further expert comment. You will also be able to move on to more advanced workshops, suiting the particular focus of your writing. Participants will also be invited to exchange email details, in the hope that you may benefit from continued mutual support and positive criticism.

YOU can have your say too. rene ===================== Dea Birkett ======== I started my Travelling with Kids column just a few weeks after I gave birth to twins; I thought it would be a way to keep me writing until I went back to my 'proper' work. I agreed to write the column for ten weeks. But I did not expect the response. The column drew, and still draws, hundreds of readers' comments, tips and queries concerning their own family travel. It seemed to touch a chord. Now the twins are approaching four years old, and Travelling with Kids continues. I thought it would be a good idea to have families talk directly to each other - exchanging tips, experiences and advice. So here is the Travelling with Kids Forum, where you can do just that. All my Travelling with Kids columns can be found on The Guardian website www.guardian.co.uk ======================================================= rene barreto www.goaday.com ============= __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
