This March 30 - April 2, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the American Writers & Artists Institute is meeting for their first workshop of the year.

Tim O'Reilly graduated from this program two years ago having never written an article in his life. 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.

As soon as he got home to California, he put the lessons he learned at AWAI's Travel Writing Workshop to the test and sat down to write. Two months later, his 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.

Barbara Bode joined AWAI in Paris and she sold two pieces she wrote during it to In Touch, an upscale membership magazine for women. Now she writes a regular column for that publication. A recent transplant from Washington to Malta, Barbara sold a story about her new home to Transitions Abroad. Then, in the market for a refresher course -- and some fun -- Barbara joined AWAI on their Travel Writer cruise down Mexico's Pacific coast. While on board, she wrote a piece about swimming with dolphins and has since sold it to another women's publication.

In Buenos Aires, you'll learn the ins and outs of travel writing. On your breaks, you'll be out exploring, gathering material for articles and putting what you've learned to practice. The program has been designed so that you'll come away at the end of the week with at least one "publishable" piece in hand.

During this intensive, hands-on program, you'll learn--

** Exactly how, step-by-step, you turn an idea into a publishable article... and then how you actually get what you've written into the pages of a magazine.

** Where to find the publications that make the most sense for your story, what to put in your letter to the editor, when to send your article... and 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...)

** Five foolproof secrets to writing a saleable article every time...
how to choose the right words... how to write powerful sentences...
what to put first, and how to draw your piece to a close.

** How to avoid the three biggest mistakes new writers make when they write travel articles from their own point of view.

** How to take one research trip and come home with three articles...
which means three times the income... and that's just the beginning...

Past sessions -- held in Paris, Las Vegas, Chicago, San Diego and in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico -- have sold out immediately. This workshop gives you the opportunity for one-on-one attention and useful, hands-on practice under the guidance of professional writers who will share with you the insights and secrets they've learned on- the-job.

The faculty includes Jennifer Stevens, freelance travel writer and former editor of International Living and Island Properties Report; John Forde, a copywriter and freelancer who is one of Agora Publishing's most accomplished writers; and Steenie Harvey, a freelance travel writer who has written for the likes of The Washington Post and The World & I as well as many other publications in the States, Ireland, Britain, Australia, and Germany.

Participants from past workshops sing its praises:
"I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. I found the content useful and very well presented - very well thought-out. I had reservations about participating ...and was also concerned that the reality would not match the "hype". Instead I found incredible substance, great "how to" tips and solid advice, based on real experience. All this and approachable, amusing folks too! Great job. Thanks for doing this." -- Sharon I.

"An excellent orientation for people who are interested in writing for a living, but who need a little push or encouragement to try to do so." -- Ruth Ann G.

"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.

"The course is thorough and well-organized, offering valuable, useful information learned and presented by actual working professional writers. I am somewhat astonished by their generosity in imparting their hard-earned knowledge." -- Carol D.
