"Write and Publish the Travel Stories that
Only You Can Tell"
Dear writer,
There are two kinds of travel stories. Those anyone can tell, and those only you can tell. At Intrepid Times, we're dedicated to the latter.
Anyone can go to Barcelona and write about the best restaurants in the city. Only you can talk about the times where your whole world view transformed. That chance meeting that changed everything. That moment of chance where a new truth about the world was revealed.
You are entrusted with these moments, but how do you do justice to them on the page? And how do you convince today's editors and gate keepers - so often overwhelmed and jaded - to stop what they're doing and give these stories the space they deserve.
Our final workshop of the year is going to be our best one yet. We'll go deep while keeping it practical, with real world examples and clear, specific tools you can start applying in your stories and pitches immediately - even if you're just starting out without many (or any) major clippings to your name.
You Will Learn
- The overlooked pitching style that is still the number one pathway to getting meaningful travel stories published (even though many experts advise against it)
- Re-discovering you. Mining your personal experience, knowledge, and world-view publishable gold you didn't realize you had access to (but editors will be excited about)
- The simple exercise that will allow you to quickly find the most powerful hook buried within your most personal travel stories to move them to the top of an editor's inbox
- Lessons from great writers and artists on how to stare into the heart of your most powerful travel experiences and do justice to them on the page
Plus
- Lifelong access to the video recording, audio recording, and detailed written notes (so you can catch up if you miss the live session and revise at your own pace)
- Access to our private travel writer's WhatsApp group to network, get support, and share experiences with fellow travel writers at all experience levels

Spaces Strictly Limited - Secure Your Place Today
Instead of a webinar where hundreds of participants listen to a lecture or Q&A, you will participate in a small group or normally around 12 fellow writers. You’ll have ample opportunity to ask questions, and find that the small-group, private format means our experts feel freer to share their real secrets than they would in more public forums.
