It was informative, fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just wish the space were a little larger and chairs a little more comfortable.

The instructor of this workshop was extremely knowledgeable about the topic of travel writing. I also loved that he brought his own personal experiences to the workshop as well as his positive, but honest personality. I truly appreciated his wilingnes to stay after the workshop was over to address additional questions that the attendees had. The content was great and I learned more than enough to start my travel writing career!

The class exceeded my expectations. It was taught by a respected travel writer whom I have read in both the Post and the NY Times. He was entertaining, informative, and very practical in his advice.
