Instructors:

Jennifer Stevens will be leading our program in October. She’s the author and creator of The Ultimate Travel Writer’s Program 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.

Always generous with her know-how and infinitely approachable, she’ll be on hand in New Orleans to give you the insider’s scoop about what editors are really after and she’ll also hand you article “blueprints” you can easily follow to get 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.

Kyle Wagner is a freelance writer, editor, and restaurant consultant. From May 2005 to August 2014 she was the Travel and Outpost Editor at the Denver Post.  Kyle dished out her opinions on dining in Denver for the 12 years prior as a restaurant food critic.

Kyle is the creator of Great Escape Publishing’s Travel Writer’s Internship, and has been a presenter at Great Escape’s Ultimate Travel Writers Workshop since 2006.  She loves sharing her years of industry insider experience, both as a writer and as an editor, to others looking to break into the travel writing market.

In New Orleans, we’ll have a photography expert who will provide 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 bylines… but also to up your income. In fact, send the right photos with your story, and you can easily double what you make on it.
