Don George - Pre-Conference Class: Travel Writing Intensive

A Pre-Book Passage Travel Writers & Photographers Conference Class
Join National Geographic Traveler writer and editor at large Don George for a day of exploration and travel writing around San Francisco Bay. This group will meet at Book Passage in Corte Madera at 9:00 am and take the ferry to the historic Ferry Building. Don will talk about the art of finding, researching and writing travel stories, then participants will continue to S.F.’s lively and atmospheric North Beach, where they will take a short guided group walk led by Don. After that, they will be let loose to find their own stories before reconvening for lunch to discuss what they found. After lunch each participant will write a short piece based on the day’s discoveries. The group will then return to Book Passage, where they’ll meet workshop-style to enjoy and evaluate each other’s literary creations. Lunch and roundtrip ferry ticket included. Enrollment is limited.
