Adventure Travel Writing

What better place to explore travel adventure writing than the wild coast of Kachemak Bay? This weekend workshop is designed for a wide range of writers, from novices who wish to finally put their tales on paper to more experienced writers who want to improve their craft. Participants will explore the various stages of creating a story, from observation to note taking to crafting the story, with emphasis on the personal essay. Participants are invited to bring a story-in-progress for discussion and feedback.
