Testimonials from Students of our Tutored Travel Writing Course The Insider Secrets of Freelance Travel Writing"

"Though I've been writing for a highly specialised readership for years, your course is a real eye opener! I am already delighted with the content, as it is very informative and useful!!" (Barry Napier)

"I certainly enjoyed your course and got a lot out of it . . . Yes, your course is terrific. Very well structured and informative. I enjoyed it immensely." (Lorna Reay)

"I bought your course and am well satisfied, thank you." (Gary Buslik)

"This course has given me privileged opportunities to visit my dream places from a unique perspective. I get to interact more with the locals, immerse myself totally in the culture, and get a better ‘feel’ of the place I visited. Travelling by business class, enjoying exceptional cuisine and hospitality, and returning home with a luggage full of freebies are the blisses of being a travel writer. I could get used to these! Many thanks for the insightful course. I managed to add some personal touch when corresponding with press officers, who were very appreciative that I sent them the published articles directly. Since my first successful pitch for a press trip to Switzerland last autumn, I have recently just returned from my second press trip to Europe – Cote d’Azur." (Amber Chee)

"I have found it to be very easy to follow tuition on a subject which is totally new to me. The course is highly informative with lots of good tips and advice. The tutors are extremely helpful with any queries one may have for them and their turn round time is very quick so that you are not left hanging while you wait for a reply . . . I sent an unsolicited travel writing piece to them to see what they thought of my style. The reply I received was so constructive I saw suddenly where I had been going wrong in my thought process. I shall rewrite the piece following the advice they gave and then re-submit for further advice . . . I have no hesitation in recommending the course to anyone who may be considering taking up this sort of employment." (John Moran)

“I guess I was just lucky with the editor. I have offered to write a travel health-related article (which is my flair) and she has accepted it to be published in the July issue of the magazine, together with one of my travel stories. I am really over the moon! I have now drawn up an editorial plan with the editor for stories that I can contribute to the end of this year. She likes what I proposed and I just have to churn out the articles according to the plan every two months.

I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to you for all the all help and guidance you’ve given me thus far.” (Amber Chee – feedback after only two months as a course student!)
