How to Write a Journey

We travel to see the world - and to find stories to tell. Using great travel-writing examples from Aotearoa and beyond, Dan Keane will teach you how to turn your own journeys into memorable stories to share, including free postcards mailed right from our workshop.

What you will learn:
  • How to avoid the traveler’s cliches
  • How to embrace the outsider’s eye
  • When travel stories belong to you—and when they belong to the place you visit

This workshop is suitable for creative souls at all levels. Everyone is welcome.

This workshop would make a perfect compliment to Elena Brambilla's Travel Art Workshop on Saturday July 18th. Take both classes and see your next adventure with completely fresh eyes!

Bring along your notebook and favourite writing tool.
