Which travel writing course should I take first?

by Janice Gabriel

I am an "empty nester" and am interested in traveling/writing. I see that you have recommended the Ultimate Travel Writing program, as well as the Matador. I understand you have taken both of them, but am wondering which one you would recommend taking first.

It appears that the UTW program is just $249 for the whole course, whereas the Matador program is $250 per course. I also see that you offer a 7-day free program to get my feet wet (which I have just signed up for.)

I don't want to bite off more than I can chew and take several courses concurrently, so any advice would be helpful.

Different styles, different travel writing courses

You've done the right thing by signing up for my free travel writing course - it will compare both courses in depth and help you decide. It will also teach you a lot of what you need to know to become a travel writer!

One adjustment - the Matador U course is $350 (I'd better run and change that!) but you pay $10 to get the first of 12 courses and if you don't like it, that's it, you can cancel, so you get to 'test drive' the course.

I can't advise you on which is better - they're both excellent. Do my course first, then come back here and ask once you have a good handle on what you need to learn!
