While traveling has been put on hold for many of us over the last year and a half, there is no shortage of travel stories out there for us to sink our teeth into. For our November Third Thursday join us as three accomplished (yet very different) travel writers break down how they approach writing their travel narratives. From the Bolivian countryside to Iceland’s snowy landscape to Jamaica’s beachy shores, we’ll explore the art of travel writing with three writers who have gone the distance and then successfully captured it on the page.
The conversation will be moderated by WLT Program Director Sam Babiak. RSVP to receive the link. We hope to see you there!
Buy our panelists books and support indie bookstores! You can find our November Third Thursday booklist here.
