Travel writing

If you've got a budding Bill Bryson or Freya Stark inside you, itching to burst out through your writing hand, then a holiday that combines inspiring places with travel writing tuition may be the faucet that sets your creative juices flowing. Sign up for a travel writing course in a soul-stirring location – golden Granada, paddy-fringed Chiang Mai or Africa's sweeping Atlas Mountains – and spend a week or so absorbing tips, tutoring and personalised feedback from professional travel writers. Hone your style and discover practical methods for succeeding in the industry, from pitching your articles to making social media work for you. Who knows? – you might finish this holiday and find that you can carry right on travelling, and getting paid for it!
