Dear Reader,

San Francisco might well be one of America's most active and unique cities -- and that's part of the reason we've chosen it as our destination for this summer's Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop. You see, when you travel, there's one way you're sure to get a feel for a place, and that's to put on a pair of comfortable shoes and head out to explore on foot.

You meet people that way. You see things you never do when you're whizzing by in a car. You absorb the energy of a place -- and in San Francisco it's a vibrancy you'll find contagious.

Join us there this summer and learn how to turn your future travels into paid vacations where resorts, restaurants, hotels and magazine publishers foot the bill and you collect handsome paychecks for your “work.”

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

If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your passion for writing and travel into a lifestyle  …

If you long for the freedom to set your own hours  … travel whenever you please  … wake up every morning LOVING what you do…

…and make a good income while you’re at it, then joining us in San Francisco is the best, most efficient, most fun way to start.

In just three days, you’ll …

• Find out just how easy it is to start exploring the world, meeting new people, and enjoying the freedom and independence of an income, no matter where on the planet you choose to live.
• Walk away knowing the little-known techniques travel writers use to land concert tickets  … meals  … vacations  … and more  … without paying a dime  …
• Know exactly what to do to get your name and articles published everywhere — from local newspapers to the world’s most prestigious travel magazines.
• Have in-hand at the close of these fun three days, your very own short publishable piece  … and the contact information for editors we know who are happy to work with you (even if you've never been published before)  …

You’ll walk in with only a pen and paper. And walk out with everything you need to turn your treks into checks…

Our Graduates Boast Extraordinary Successes

Tamara O’Dell attended our Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop in Santa Monica, CA and soon after the event published two travel articles about her hometown in Colorado. She says, "I simply did what Jen said … I followed her formula … and within a handful of weeks I'd landed two by-lines. They're in a glossy magazine and look great, and I really feel like I got a solid start, fast."

Connie Werner Reichert used what she learned at Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop to land multiple press trips and article bylines. She writes, “The Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop gave me tremendous insight on what's happening right now in the real world of travel writing. Shortly after completing the program, I experienced 10 successful press trips within two years that resulted in a plethora of articles and a good income. I remain thankful for all AWAI has done for me and my career … I snowmobiled in the Yukon in 30 degrees below zero weather, took a crazy jeep drive in Sedona, enjoyed spa days in Mexico, and slept in a hammock in Hawaii. Ten trips was a killer…but it was incredible.”

The Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop is also where Tim O'Rielly got his start. Before joining us, he'd never written an article in his life. But as a freelance photographer he has occasion to travel, and he was looking for a way to get more mileage (and more money) out of his journeys.

Two months after completing the Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop, Tim’s first full-length feature article about travels in the Mayan World appeared in Vision Magazine. Since then, he's written two more cover stories for that publication. He told me, "Your course really spurred me to take action and risk hearing a 'no' or a 'yes' from an editor."

Zenaida Des Aubris came to the Ultimate Travel Writer's Workshop all the way from South Africa. I heard from her just recently when she sent me this note: “I am now in my 8th month of an around the world trip. I am doing my own blog, which, I am happy to report has a subscription of about 2000, plus I am writing for 2 German publications. All thanks to the impetus I received from the course.”

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.

And it took attendee Roy Stevenson just three months to earn back his workshop fee, land regular paid assignments and travel the world on someone else’s dime. Last year his big trips were in Europe, England and Alaska. This year, publications are paying him to visit and write about the Gulf Islands, Mardi Gras in Louisiana, Quebec and Montreal, Vienna, Stockholm, Singapore and Thailand. He now earns a full-time living as a travel writer with over 700 published articles in more than 160 different magazines, newspapers, in-flight magazines and online sites.

The success stories go on and on. But 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.

And this July 26-28, that's exactly what our team of professional writers and editors will show you at our 2012 Ultimate Travel Writing Workshop.

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  …

Ordinary Folks, Extraordinary Successes.
This Workshop Really Works!

I've already told you about Tamara, Connie, Tim, Zenaida 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, who I told you about earlier. Roy already has over ten press trips booked for 2012, all over the world, and it’s not even the New Year yet. And, he’s prepared to help you do the same by helping us create a new guide: How to Earn Back Your Workshop Fee in 90 Days or Less.

Roy earns back his conference fee every two to three weeks now and gets so many offers for free trips, he has to turn most of them down. He wrote to say —

You know, you can be enjoying this lifestyle 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 future 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 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 …

Special Publication Expo Delivers Real Publications
Looking for Your Articles

We're so committed to connecting you with real-life opportunities  … to helping you take what you learn in San Francisco 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 five 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  …

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  …

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

This July at the main event in San Francisco, you'll also  …

• Learn how to easily combine your hobbies and interests with your passion for travel  … and instantly turn them into income-earners. It'll work with anything: scrapbooking, architecture, music, cooking, knitting, gambling, hunting, hiking, dancing, history  … even bar-hopping  …
• Make the critical industry contacts you need and learn exactly how, step-by-step, you turn an idea into a publishable piece  … and then how you actually get what you've written into the pages of a magazine, newspaper, newsletter, or website  …
• Learn what to put in your letter to the editor, and when to send your article  … plus we'll give you the insider's list of what NOT to do (you'd be surprised at how many writers have no idea what makes editors crazy  … )

• Get paid to dine at your favorite restaurants  … visit your favorite haunts  … and turn your insider knowledge of your hometown into checks that land in your mailbox  …
• Play the best golf courses and ski the hottest slopes. You needn't be Tiger Woods to find yourself walking on at Carnoustie  … and you don't have to ski bumps like Bode Miller to spend a few charmed days in Vail  … Find out how to land a sweet deal for a fraction the usual rate, and possibly for no charge at all.
• Find out how you can land more by-lines and bigger checks by targeting a specific kind of travel publication most people don’t think to contact.
• Learn how to write the power letters that will sell your ideas in seconds. And get sample "query letters" from seasoned pros that you can use as models for your own.

• Make writing easy. Learn how to get information to come right to you — you'll never be at a loss for a story idea or the meaty content that will make writing a breeze.
• Get a simple technique for tripling your travel writing income  … with almost no additional work.
• Learn why writing about where you live can be so much fun — and such an important first step to take — and how it can easily lead to great paying assignments and amazing perks all over the world.
• Find out the one big secret you never learned writing “What I did last summer” essays in school. This critical idea separates adequate writers from exceptional ones, and travel editors can tell immediately if you’re in-the-know.
• Stretch your vacation dollars — save hundreds of dollars a night — when you defray your travel costs with deeply discounted "press rates" at swank hotels around the world. Find out how it's done — what to say and what not to say — and what you can do to increase the chances that next time you'll be asked back for free.
• Learn the delicate art of arranging a complimentary trip — a seasoned travel writer spills her secrets (including sample letters you can copy) and tells you exactly what to say and who to say it to.

This is Your Best — and Only — Chance
in 2012 to Transform Yourself into a Travel Writer
with Our Experts to Guide You in Person

We're only hosting one event like this in 2012. 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.

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 Executive 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.

Always generous with her know-how and infinitely approachable, she'll be on hand this July to give you the insider’s scoop about what editors are really after. And she’ll hand you blueprints for articles you can follow so easily, that 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.

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 July she’ll tell you how she does it  … and hand over the keys to getting unbelievable perks.

Kyle Wagner is the Travel Editor at the Denver Post and for 15 years was a renowned Denver food critic. Kyle is extremely well-respected in foodie circles and was an award-winning food editor, as well. She’ll share her invaluable insider knowledge of what makes travel editors tick, how to write an attractive query, how to break into newspaper travel sections, and how to add a food element -- ever more indispensable these days -- into your travel stories, making them irresistible to editors.

Efraín M. Padró will be our photography expert in San Francisco. He’s a full-time professional photographer specializing in nature and travel subjects. His work has appeared in Outdoor Photographer, Frommer’s Budget Travel, Geographic Expeditions catalogs and other publications. And he is the author of The Photographer’s Guide to New Mexico. This July, Efrain 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.

Now, this program is still several 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 July, 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 the ropes. And there’s no other way to guarantee that you’re up-and-running quickly … enjoying the perks of a writer's life.

We'll Be Based at the Parc 55 Hotel,
in the Heart of Downtown San Francisco

I assure you: this program would prove a worthwhile summer excursion even if we were hosting it in the backyard of my house next to the swing set..

Lucky for you, though, we're not. As I mentioned above, San Francisco is a vibrant, invigorating city … and we'll be right in the thick of things…

We'll be based at the boutique, four-diamond Parc 55 Hotel, right next to the renowned Union Square shopping area and the theater district. We'll be just a few blocks from the Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Gardens, where you can stroll and relax among fountains, waterfalls, sculptures, and blossoming beds.

The rooms in this hotel are spacious, and the views out over the city will take your breath away.

We've also arranged for a discounted room rate for workshop participants (just $149 per night plus tax). But please mark your calendar: that rate is only guaranteed through June 27. So if you'll be joining us for this program in July, you'll want to reserve your room early. I've put the contact details for the hotel below.)

We’ll Shave at Least Three Years Off Your Learning Curve
in Just Three Days … and You’ll Walk Away
with the Skills You Need to Earn Your First Check
in Just Days After Completing this Workshop

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:

Plus, what’s great is that this program comes with an affordable price tag. 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.

A Very Special Price before June 15, 2012

The registration fee for the workshop covers admission to three days of intensive class sessions geared to produce a publishable article … recordings of all the sessions and presentations merged with each instructor’s PowerPoint presentations so that you can watch the event again, at home, from the comfort of your favorite chair and have quick access to everything that was said, exactly as it was presented …

…admission to the Publication Expo on Friday night … nightly cocktail parties where you can meet and mingle with other writers and editors … contact information for all the editors and publishers you meet … a free copy of: How to Earn Back Your Workshop Fee in 90 Days or Less… plus six Special Bonuses I'll tell you about below, and more.

Regularly our events cost $1,697 and they’re worth every penny for all the real-world advice and years of experience our expert instructors deliver, but until Friday, June 15, you can benefit by signing up during our Early Bird discount period and receiving a whopping $300 in savings -- money you can put toward your airfare or hotel.

Plus, you can benefit from an affordable pay plan. Here’s how it works:

1. Reserve a seat at the workshop today for just $465.00 when you put your name on our attendee list by June 15.
2. When you do, you automatically lock in the discounted workshop price of only $1,397 – a full $300 SAVINGS for you!
3. For the next two months, we’ll bill your credit card two payments of $466. So you split the fee into three equal payments and spread them out comfortably between now and the event.

Plus, because I’m so confident you’ll love everything that you hear at this event and you can make it work for you, I’m offering a 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE.

If for ANY reason you join us in San Francisco and then decide that the 2012 Ultimate Travel Writer’s Workshop isn’t for you or you aren’t satisfied with what you’re getting, simply let us know by the end of the cocktail party on the first night … and we’ll happily refund your money … every penny.

No hard feelings. And no risk for you. (No shows and cancellations before the event, however, may result in extra fees.)

It’s our way of letting you know just how much we care about your satisfaction and how highly we value our events.

So think about this incredible offer.

You know that the idea of getting paid to explore the world has always appealed to you. The Ultimate Travel Writer’s Workshop in San Francisco 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 of.

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 July 26-28, 2012 in San Francisco.

Space is limited for this program, however, and this is the only travel writing workshop like this we'll be hosting in 2012. 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.

I encourage you to act quickly while seats are open and generously discounted.

You can register today online by clicking below. You can also reach me by email at lori@thetravelwriterslife.com.

I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!

Lori Allen
