“We work in the dark,” wrote literary giant Henry James of the great task of writing. Here is an opportunity to nurture that passion for writing to life in a place of fabled light, Mendoza, the province of Argentina’s spectacular wine country.
Over seven days in the luxurious and comfortable lodgings of Posada de Rosas, you’ll receive many hours of intense instruction on the topic of “Substance and Style in Travel Writing” from award-winning writer and editor, Camille Cusumano. Classes will cover everything from the six key elements of a winning travel story to how to overcome writer’s block. You’ll learn how to find your “voice” in writing, how to pitch a story to an editor, and what pitfalls to beware of in writing.
Plus:
• A hands-on, no-nonsense class in writing that includes instruction to get you writing, activities to stimulate the muse, and ideas for publishing your work.
• An opportunity to start turning your love of travel and writing into the vocation you’ve always wanted.
• Learn key elements of a winning travel story – mistakes of novice, how to find your voice, get over writer’s block, and publish.
• Sharpen the reporting and writing skills you already possess but have been letting languish.
• Work in a setting that is “breath-giving” to the writer within, amid Andean landscape that is breath-taking.
• Consult with a widely published instructor with more than 30 years in writing and editing in book and magazine publishing.
• A week-long intensive paced for productive time in the classroom and stimulating activities in the field.
• Savor world-class food, wine, and lodgings that stimulate the muse and the senses and offer myriad themes on which to write. Learn how to set writing goals and meet them.
• Wake up your sleeping muse and sharpen your awareness of the stories waiting to be written; collect data and turn it into a story that you may publish.

The workshop lasts a week – but it is designed to keep on giving forever.
