Testimonials from Our Members
I joined AWAI last year, and at the boot camp in November I purchased the Travel Writer’s Program that Jen Stevens wrote. I also became a Circle of Success member.
I wanted to tell you that I have just had my first travel essay published by a local magazine, here in Montana. Click on the link below to see it. My story is the one about Miles City: A Cultural Cowtown.
It was very gratifying to see an article in print, and my goal with this story is to start my portfolio. I wanted to let you know how great I think the program is. I’m looking forward to my next travel articles, which include Daufuskie Island in South Carolina – it’s the island of the Gullah and the story is about their culture – food, art, black and white magic and music, etc. I also have started an Istanbul essay, based on my journey last year after a ten year absence (I lived there for 3 years in the 90’s).
Thanks so much for these excellent programs. Travel writing has always been a dream of mine, and now it’s happening! I’m also working on several other programs, as well.Allyson Gierke
I have always been a 'writer.' By that, I mean I've always journaled, scribbled and jotted as second nature. It comes easily to me and I love it. But, until I ordered your program, I never actually believed I could consider myself a 'professional' writer. I sent a query to the publisher of a small local magazine regarding an idea for an article about a trip that I will be taking in the end of September. I called the story "Bikes on trains!" The magazine focuses on local motorcycle "flavor" and the publisher loved the idea and agreed to publish the story! I just wanted to say thank you for your program. It has given me new confidence in myself!
