This Summer, Spend Three Sunny Days
with Us in Santa Monica, California and Discover
the Secrets to Traveling the World for Free …
and Getting Paid as a Travel Writer

The Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop
August 5-7, 2010 – Santa Monica, CA

Dear Reader,

Perched at the edge of a blue lake in southern Chile, surrounded by 11 million acres of protected Patagonian wilds, is a luxurious eco-resort and spa. You get your own log cabin, and from it you can look out over the glimmering water to the white-tipped mountains that rise from the lake.

There, under enormous cypress trees, and amid blossoming gardens, Sandra K. spent four pampered days. Hot stone massage in the spa. Walks in the pristine woods. Excursions to waterfalls and glaciers. At night, local wines and organic meals enjoyed under the stars …

And it was all free. Didn't cost her a penny.

In fact, she jotted down some notes about what made the experience special. And then she sold her account to an online travel magazine. And she's been in touch with a few more publications, too, offering them stories as well. In the end, she'll turn a tidy profit on that trip.

You may think that sort of thing is out of your reach. But it's not.

The truth is: Sandra doesn’t have a background in writing. In fact, before she attended an Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop, she'd never penned an article.

But now she's exploring the world as a travel writer (most often on somebody else's dime). And you could be, too …

It's fun. It's easy. And you don't need any sort of literary flair to be good at it. Honestly.

If you like to travel and you're willing to recommend (or discourage) others from following in your footsteps … then you could easily earn a few hundred (maybe even a few thousand) dollars for your trouble …

"Jen has created a comprehensive workshop that more than opens the door for a budding travel writer — she gives you the grand tour!"

— Jill H.

"This was probably the best workshop I’ve ever attended. The speakers kept my interest throughout the program, even with the jet-lag & late nights. Thanks."

— M.G.

If You're Ready to See New Places, Meet New People,
and Learn a Few Simple Tricks of Trade,
You Can Turn Your Travels into Paychecks …

Like Wendy V. When she was downsized out of her job as a healthcare administrator in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, she decided to follow her passion for travel and find a way to make it pay for itself.

So she attended an Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop, and it launched her new career in a matter of days. Her stories have been published in Marco Polo, International Living, The Traveler, Go Nomad, Traveler's Tales, and beyond.

She told me she recently landed five free tickets to San Diego's Wild Animal Park (a $100+ value) … just because she knew how to ask for them (a skill she learned at our workshop)!

Following our Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop in New York, attendee Robin C. struck up a conversation with an employee of the Guggenheim Museum and ended up being invited inside to look around and to interview him. As a follow up, she's been invited back for grand openings, with VIP access to the artists. Within a handful of weeks after the workshop, she'd already sold an article.

You know, if there's any lesson to be learned from these folks, it's this: You don't need a degree in journalism or a mastery of the English language to become a travel writer. You don't need a fancy laptop or lots of money.

What you do need is an interest in seeing new places and meeting new people … and a willingness to learn the techniques, tricks, and secrets the pros rely on to write the kinds of stories that editors want … and land the amazing perks just sitting there waiting for you to grab them.

This August, that's exactly what our speakers will show you …

Jump-Start Your Travel Writing Career in
Three Fun, Engaging, Eye-Opening Days

I hope you'll join me in Santa Monica from August 5-7, 2010 for a chance to rub shoulders with some of the best writers and editors in the business. Discover first-hand how easy it can be to turn your travels into paychecks … and see the world in a way you never could as an ordinary tourist.

This special weekend will give you the greatest chance ever to start living the travel writer’s life. You’ll …

You Can Do This! Even if All You've Ever Written
is a Postcard Home to Your Friends …

You can do this … even if all you've ever done is scribble a postcard home. We'll show you exactly what you need to know. It's simple. And you're going to find it not only enjoyable … but exciting, too.

Now, you could travel and write full-time if you wanted to. But you certainly don't have to make that sort of commitment to cash in on the glamour, the VIP treatment, the perks.

Travel writing is something you can easily do in your spare time. No experience necessary.

And you don’t even have to travel to make a go of it. After all, where you live is a destination for somebody.

So you can easily write about what there is to see and do in your hometown. And when you do that, you're pretty much guaranteed local celebrity status. That means invites to all sorts of fun stuff — like gallery openings, tourist attractions, new restaurants, and more …

This summer, we'll show you exactly how it's done.

You'll walk away with easy, proven techniques for landing no-cost trips … real-world advice for turning your travel know-how into cash … tried-and-true ways to transform your vacations into tax-deductible adventures … and more …

“35 days ago, I walked into The Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop in San Francisco. Prior to that day, I'd never written a thing. Today, I have a by-line!”

— Mary Anne L..

Our ONLY Ultimate Travel Writing Workshop of 2010

I should tell you, too, that this August event will be our only Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop next year.

It's your one chance in 2010 to gain all this insider know-how right from the experts … in person.

Because we're only hosting one event like this, we've reserved multiple conference rooms so we can pack into our three days even more secrets, techniques, and opportunities than ever before.

We'll bring you niche markets (like food writing, for instance), and new ways to expand your successes to ensure you're enjoying the travel writer's life more fully (and faster) than you ever thought possible …

Plus you're invited — with our compliments — to our bigger-than-ever Publication Expo: A Job Fair for Freelance Travel Writers, where we'll hand you the keys to getting published in more than a dozen publications.

And, too, because we know from experience that it's often easier to sell your stories when you have photos to offer with them — we'll also have a professional photographer among our experts.

She's going to give you some practical tips and techniques you can use starting that day to take the kinds of photos editors are looking for. (And no, you don't need fancy equipment and you don't need any experience to do it. If you've snapped photos on a vacation, you can do this. Promise!)

If you've been to one of our travel writing workshops before, you'll be pleased with the advanced-level material and all-new sessions we're integrating into this program …

If you haven't attended one of our workshops yet, well I encourage you to sign on now. Because this one is designed to really fast-track your success.

Don’t wait to benefit from an investment in a single weekend that could …

You know, we’ve taken our travel writer's workshop all over the world, to some of the best destinations imaginable … Paris … Chicago … Portland … San Miguel de Allende … San Diego … Denver … New York … Las Vegas … Buenos Aires … San Francisco … even on board a cruise ship …

… and we’ve had a great time.

But more importantly, our program participants are profiting from their face-to-face experiences with our panel of experts … they're really starting to live the extraordinary lifestyle professional travel writers enjoy …

This workshop seems like a ten-week course condensed into one.

— Johnnie M.

"This workshop teaches good, practical how-to focus. If none of us publishes anything after this, we’ll only have ourselves to blame!"

— Dee O.

Ordinary Folks, Extraordinary Successes.
This Workshop Really Works!
Just Look What these Past Attendees Are Up to Now …

I've already told you about Sandra and Wendy and Robin — all past workshop attendees who put what they learned into action and are, today, getting paid to travel. But they're hardly alone in their success.

Here's a story that'll make you green with envy. Duane and Harlene H. enjoyed an entire summer of travel … free. And all they had to do in exchange was take good notes about what they did and then make suggestions about whether they'd recommend it to others — or not.

All told, they visited 23 different dude ranches in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana over a three-month period, staying for free an average of three days at each ranch. The total value of their summer stays? About $55,000 … and they didn't pay anything. Not one cent.

What's more, they wrote an article for Steamboat Magazine, a high-end coffee-table publication based in Steamboat Springs, CO that comes out twice a year. And they were paid for their work.

And then there's Roy S. He came to our workshop three years ago in Portland, and he's sold over 210 articles since then. No kidding.

He's more than covered the cost of the workshop. Plus he's got his name in print all over the place. And he's having a good time, to boot. He wrote to say —

"I really am using every scrap of knowledge I picked up at the workshop in Portland, and it really does work … I'm quite amazed because I've only had one article query rejected by all the magazines I pitched … and the best part is I am enjoying it so much."

— Roy S.

You know, you can be, too … and a lot faster than you probably imagine.

Join us for these three power-packed days, and within a handful of weeks you could be getting paid to travel, seeing your name in print, and enjoying some unbelievable perks, too …

That's because this workshop isn't filled with theoretical fluff. We tell you how, in the real world, this industry works. And then we show you — step-by-step — exactly how to navigate your way through it.

It means you can avoid the pitfalls that trip up most new travel writers. Instead, you can steer yourself directly to the by-lines you need to guarantee your own success.

Like Barbara B., for example. Barbara moved from the U.S. to Malta, a Mediterranean paradise, a few years back. She attended our Paris program and got two articles in print immediately afterwards. Not only that, but she later landed a regular column for In Touch — and she got an article published about her move from Washington to Malta in Transitions Abroad.

Eunice T., a participant on our Mexican cruise, has been so successful at publishing articles that editors now call her. She has been pursued by editors to write about her hometown in Alaska.

A writer at our workshop in Argentina sold an article about Buenos Aires apartments within a month of her return home.

A San Diego workshop participant successfully sold the same article she wrote during our program three times — and got paid for it three times, too.

And a San Francisco workshop participant last year got an article published in the August/September 2008 issue of California Homeschooler magazine … less than one month after the workshop.

And believe me, this is only the beginning of the heap of success stories that are piling up on my desk. People are starting to live out their dreams … and you can, too …

"Classes were to the point, inclusive of our individual needs and concerns, and covered an exhaustive array of quite valuable tools and tips. I have been telling everyone who will listen what a great experience I had."

— Colleen Q.

“I must tell you what the workshop meant to me. It opened doors on my possibility list, making two of my favorite things — travel and writing — a new lifestyle for me. Since I am retired and have no baggage to haul around the world (except one suitcase and my laptop!) I am good to go … good to write!”

— Diane J.

Special Publication Expo Delivers Real Publications Looking for Your Articles

In fact, we're so committed to connecting you with real-life opportunities … to helping you take what you learn in Santa Monica and immediately turn it into a by-line and a check … that we're putting on a very special Publication Expo: A Job Fair for Freelance Travel Writers during the program for everyone who attends the workshop.

It's your chance — this one time only — to gain insider information about what more than a dozen different publications are looking for from travel writers … and to learn exactly what you need to do to pitch them your ideas.

We've been in touch with the editors at all these publications. We've interviewed them. Really, we've picked their brains. And we've found out — on your behalf — what, exactly, they're looking for in an article.

We asked about what they like … what drives them nuts … and what you can do to increase your chances of landing a by-line there.

You'll learn all of that at the Publication Expo … and more. Plus we'll have their writer's guidelines available as well as sample issues of each featured publication. In essence, you'll come away with a roadmap for getting a by-line in each one.

And our own experts will be on hand to talk about these newspapers, magazines, and online publications. And they'll share with you, too, their own hard-won insights about the smartest ways to increase the number of articles you sell and to bump up your income on every piece you write.

We hosted our very first Publication Expo three years ago, and the successes it produced were really unbelievable.

One attendee landed three by-lines — in publications we profiled there — and launched her career right then. In the first month after the workshop. And she'd never written an article before.

I asked her about her experience, and she said …

"You made it so easy. I mean, I walked around to all the tables at the Expo (drinking my glass of wine — thanks for that — very classy to have cocktails there). I picked up all this great material about each publication. And it included a sample issue of each one, so I could read those at home later and really familiarize myself with them.

"The profiles explained exactly what the editors were looking for — in the editors' own words. And so I just followed the easy directions you laid out there. I immediately landed three stories — within a month of the workshop. It was so exciting to see my name in print. And it gave me my start.

"Honestly, I feel a little like I cheated the system. I mean, aren't budding writers supposed to suffer starting out? I sure didn't. I just did what you showed us how to do. And it got me immediate success. So thanks!"

— Bonnie C.

Practical, ("You Can Do It with a Point-and-Shoot")
Lessons from a Professional Photographer, too …

In addition to the Publication Expo, we've integrated something else very special — and useful — into this program. A revealing presentation by a seasoned professional photographer.

It's true that photos help you sell your articles. And it's also true that you don't need lots of experience or expensive equipment to take the kinds of shots that can illustrate your stories beautifully.

In this important session, you'll learn some easy techniques you can put into practice immediately to take better shots every time. You'll find out how to easily transform a vacation snapshot into a photo you can sell. Plus find out how to put together an article-photo package that will have editors knocking at your door.

Of course, all of that is just a small sampling of the kind of real-world insights this program delivers …

“Many thanks for the wonderful seminar. It was most worthwhile from all aspects and we would attend another in a heartbeat. Material covered was extensive but well presented. We were impressed by our well-qualified and informed instructors.”

— Duane and Harlene H.

Learn the Insider Keys to Writing — and Selling
— Stories with Ease … Plus Lots, Lots More …

This August at the main event in Santa Monica, you'll also …

Would You Like to "Work" for Me?

Dear Reader,

Right now, I need travel stories for three of my print publications (including International Living) and several web sites. More specifically, I need some people to write these stories.

If you are interested in coming to "work" for me, you might find yourself exploring the whitewashed towns of Sicily, in the middle of the Mediterranean. Or you could visit the beaches and the wild nightlife of southern Spain. Or maybe you'd prefer to investigate a chain of tropical islands off the coast of Panama, a notorious, 19th-century pirate hideout.

In fact, International Living has published articles about each of these destinations — and I've got dozens of others in mind, places I'd like people to write about for me.

If this idea interests you, I encourage you to attend this Santa Monica workshop. I assure you: The Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop lives up to its name. In fact, I've already had the great pleasure of paying for and publishing articles written by attendees of past workshops.

We have a tremendous need for well-written travel articles, so if you are interested in the lifestyle this kind of work offers, I urge you to register now.

This is your chance to make that dream a reality. I encourage you to attend.

Sincerely,

Jackie Flynn, Publisher, International Living

"Best workshop I've attended in many, many years — focused, practical tools and templates for successful travel writing and the nuts and bolts of how to get published."

— Nadia B.

This is Your Best — and Only — Chance
in 2010 to Transform Yourself into a Travel Writer
with Our Experts to Guide You in Person

As I mentioned before, we're only hosting one event like this in 2010. So if you're ready to start getting paid to travel, I encourage you to reserve your place right now.

Our speakers are extraordinarily generous in sharing their hard-won secrets. And that means you can be certain to accelerate your success and cut years off your learning curve.

In fact, that's one of the things our workshop attendees always make a point of telling us: How much they appreciate the friendliness and accessibility of the experts we have on hand. Our speakers aren't folks who just stroll up to a podium, deliver a "speech," and leave.

Instead, they hang around. They answer questions. They tell you their stories. And they make you laugh. They share their own experiences (including the mistakes — so you don't make them). And they guarantee that this long weekend will be not just eye-opening and inspirational — but a lot of fun, too.

"I absolutely got what I came for — it was positive, encouraging, supportive and I’m thrilled.

— Jean C.

"I’m at a stage in my life where I am looking to reinvent myself and have often felt I might like to pursue travel writing. This is an excellent beginning, motivating and stimulation – I’m hooked."

— Viki H.

You'll Find Our Speakers to Be Smart, Funny, Experienced, and Accessible

You'll hear from …

Jennifer Stevens will be leading our program this summer. She's the author of The Ultimate Travel Writer’s Program (our home-study text) and architect of this workshop.

Jen is the former editor of International Living, and she spent a decade gallivanting around Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe, writing about the best locales for overseas travel, retirement, and investment.

In prior incarnations, Jen wrote market research reports for the Foreign Commercial Service at the U.S. Embassy in Paris, taught English on an island in the Indian Ocean as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and cut her teeth in the magazine world as a business reporter for Trade & Culture Magazine.

Though freelance these days, she remains a contributing editor at International Living and writes frequently for other publications as well.

Always generous with her know-how and infinitely approachable, she'll be on hand this August to give you the insider’s scoop about what editors are really after and hand you blueprints for articles you can follow so easily you’ll find your pieces published in no time. Plus she'll show you how to polish your articles in just such a way that editors will be transfixed.

"Jen is the complete package – her attention to detail and organization kept the workshop running seamlessly. Her presentations were streamlined and well delivered, punctuated with humor."

— Jill H.

"Jen is energetic, exciting and engaging. A good presenter who is clearly enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge."

— Tselani R.

"Jen is one of the best presenters I’ve ever experienced. She is on time, gets to the point and goes beyond “fluff.” She is a fantastic story teller who is smart, articulate, down to earth, friendly. She is a real person who shares her expertise willingly."

— Angella H.

Steenie Harvey will be joining us as well — from Ireland, where she hangs her hat when she's not on the road. An accomplished and proven freelancer, Steenie is International Living’s roving Euro-editor.

She also writes about travel, folklore, and real estate for publications like The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, and the Washington Post. Recent travels have taken her to Malta, the Greek islands, the jungles of Malaysian Borneo, and Italy.

Adept at landing incredible assignments and an editor’s dream to work with — this August she’ll tell you how she does it … and hand over the keys to getting unbelievable perks.

"Steenie is knowledgeable, funny and easy to approach. A real gem!"

— Jill S.

"Steenie has a great sense of humor and her presentations included lots of real life examples. Her frankness is refreshing."

— Anne M.

"Steenie has an awesome personality, honest about experience, a character! I just love her! We didn’t get bored by any means!"

— Laura A.

Shelly Perry will be our photography expert in Santa Monica. Shelly writes the Weekly Photo Tip for The Right Way to Travel. Her images have been seen all over the globe on music CD covers, books, magazines, catalogues, websites, ad campaigns, and even on TV. Her work has also appeared in several local exhibits and gallery shows.

This August, Shelly will provide you with the easy techniques you need to transform your vacation snaps into photos you can sell with your stories. This is a great way to sell more articles and land more by-lines … but also to up your income. In fact, send the right photos with your story, and that can easily double what you make on it.

“Shelly Perry is encouraging and offers suggestions that help you think of ways to improve your work.”

— Chere H.

“Shelly is compassionate, accessible, and real.”

— Clea F.

“Shelly gave great advice … she made me feel that it was something I could do and her enthusiasm for what she does is contagious.”

— Susan H.

Now, it's early still, and this program is many months away. But we're already busy sending out speaker invitations to editors at a host of publications. These are people who hire writers just like you and who are always in the market for stories they can pay for to fill up their pages.

In August, these "guest editors" will talk to you about their own particular niches and how to guarantee you can break in with ease. For instance, you'll hear about food writing — how to write about restaurants, what to make sure you include in your reviews, tricks for evaluating cafes, bars, and restaurants, and more …

And we'll be hosting "pitch-fests" with these editors, sessions where you can throw out article ideas and they'll respond to them — tell you why one will work and another won't — and I guarantee, you'll learn more valuable lessons here than you can imagine.

There's just nothing quite like hearing what makes a "printable" article right from the expert who could print it.

Plus, too, we're inviting a wide variety of freelance writers who will share with you the lessons they've learned over the years and the secrets they know to apply every time they sit down to write.

This is the kind of stuff it would take you years to figure out on your own. But our speakers will spare you the trouble, frustration, and time … and just cut to the chase.

That way you're sure to be using your time and energies wisely. There's no more efficient — or fun — way to learn this stuff and guarantee you're up-and-running, enjoying the perks of a writer's life fast.

“The positive reinforcement was invaluable. I appreciated the time all of you took to review my work and give me useful feedback. The printed material is helpful and will be a good resource. The small group sessions were good opportunities to gain insight on our work. On a personal note, I was glad I had completed your written course prior to taking this workshop. It made quite a difference for me.”

— Wendy V.

The World’s Best Locations – on THEIR Tab – and
They'll Pay You to Write About it!

Join us, and we’ll guide you step-by-step. You’ll walk away with one … possibly even two … articles ready for publication.

You’ll have some of the leading experts in the field guiding your way, sharing their tips and secrets. Santa Monica always has something going on, so there’s plenty to write about.

You know, there are other "writing workshops" out there. But I want to be clear — this program is different than anything else you'll find. It's not the kind of thing where you just hear from some writers who share their stories to inspire you.

We do that, too, mind you. I mean, I guarantee you'll come away invigorated and ready to really jump into travel writing. But we take things a few steps further. We hand you a roadmap you can follow to really make it happen.

Our experts will actually give you a success plan you can work through — day-by-day — so you can have an article to an editor within two weeks of going home. We're all about action.

We'll introduce you to a system that, when coupled with a bit of persistence, is so powerful, our past workshop attendees are getting their work published like there’s no tomorrow.

The information you'll gain at this workshop could, quite literally, change your life — it has already for so many of our past attendees who, today, are working travel writers.

Here’s what our workshop architect, Jennifer Stevens, has to say about the program:

“The idea is that for these three days, you immediately apply what you learn. In my view, it's not really useful to just sit back and scribble notes on a pad of paper. Yet that's what you typically do in seminars.

“What IS useful, on the other hand, is to roll up your sleeves, lean forward, and really put what the speakers are showing you into practice. And that's what we do. And we don't leave you hunched over, staring at a blank piece of paper and struggling with what to say or how to say it …

“ … we provide step-by-step instruction on exactly what you need to do to put an article together. Follow these formulas, and you’ll always know what to put first and what to write next.

"And then, of course, we show you what to do after that, how — and where — to sell this article you've just written.”

Jennifer Stevens
author of The Ultimate Travel Writer's Program
and architect of The Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop

You might reasonably expect this workshop to cost two or three thousand dollars. After all, you're getting extraordinary access to industry experts and guidance from professional writers who will share with you the insights and secrets they've learned on-the-job. And it would be worth every penny. You'd recoup it quickly enough, after all.

But it won't cost you anywhere near that.

The registration fee for the workshop covers admission to three days of intensive workshop sessions … admission to the Publication Expo … presentations and meaty handouts with examples of everything you'll learn … a cocktail reception … plus six special bonuses I'll tell you more about below.

And all of that is yours for just $1,697 per person. Plus if your spouse or a guest would like to join you, he or she can do so for just $999.

A Very Special Early-Bird Price

And if you sign on by Friday, June 11, 2010, during our Early Bird Discount Period, you save $300, which means you pay just $1397.

In effect, this is your best opportunity yet to jump into the travel writer’s lifestyle …

… the best way to learn how you can travel with class. Relax in luxury. Enjoy prestige. See and do more than “tourists,” even the wealthiest among them, could ever dream.

If you like the idea of getting paid to travel to exotic locations around the globe, and if you want to begin a sideline or a full-time career as a travel writer, join me and my colleagues August 5-7, 2010 in Santa Monica.

Space is limited for this program, however, and this is the only travel writing workshop like this we'll be hosting in 2010. So I strongly urge you to reserve your place soon.

This workshop is going to be bigger and better than ever before — with a broader scope, more speakers, more sessions, and more on-the-ground insights.

This workshop is very condensed, cuts to the bottom line, no bull.

— Laura A.

Jen has an excellent grasp of what makes a good writer. I have done creative writing workshops at Humber College, Ontario, but her points were better and more concrete than anything I did there. Great points!!!

— Frances B.

"You have unleashed an incredible source of energy within me … I travel a lot and I have to write about stuff anyway — mostly technology — but now I look at it differently. I have always loved to travel (Army brat) and will always continue to do so, but now I can honor and commemorate my experiences by writing about them.

"It deepens the connection I make with people and my memories of them and that means a great deal to me — and I enjoy writing about it immensely! That would be true even if no one but me ever read these things — but I must say that the feedback I have received from friends and colleagues with whom I have shared my articles has been very gratifying".

— Bob S.

The Travel Writing Workshop is an excellent balance of theory and practice. The presenters are very knowledgeable and gave us lots of practical advice. It’s also a lot of fun!

— Anne M.

Talking with others helped me gain confidence that I would not have had if I had just done the home-study course.

— Linda W.

Jammed packed with valuable, useful info. The weekend just flew by.”

— Jeanette D.
