National Geographic Traveler magazine to offer seminar on travel writing in New York City on Sunday, May 7, 2006


"INSIDE SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL TRAVEL WRITING"

Join top National Geographic Traveler writer Andrew Nelson and one of the Traveler editorial staff--editor-in-chief Keith Bellows, executive editor Paul Martin, or senior editor Sheila Buckmaster--for a one-day seminar on how to write the kinds of stories that have earned Traveler the "World's Most Widely Read Travel Magazine" distinction. Come to understand the mindset and strategies behind stories that get inside-- and communicate--the heart of a place. Learn how story telling--and not guidebook journalism-- captures the attention of readers. Find out what it takes to make good on Traveler's commitment to tell the stories of "destinations of distinction and character" and the belief that "to enhance an authentic 'sense of place' will benefit both travelers and the locations they visit."
