Travel Writing 101 Workshops, Buenos Aires
Comments(3) 
If you can write, there’s a reader waiting to read what you have to say. Why not start publishing your prose? The time has never been more auspicious—and I’ll tell you why. If you are coming to Buenos Aires for your first time, be prepared to find inspiration daily in this lively Latin city and its culture, full of surprises.
If you’ve already been here, you know there is so much to write home about.
In these two-day workshops we’ll work on one-two-three simple goals:
1. Crafting and streamlining a creative, publishable travel story.
2. Listing the many outlets and publications, both hard copy and online, where you can send your work for serious consideration.
3. Getting your work sent out now.
• The workshops will be given in the beautiful Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, near easy public transportation, hotels, restaurants, and great shopping. (It’s a $30 taxi ride from Ezeiza Int’l Airport.)
• These workshops will be fun, no-pressure, and full of inspiration. Each one is limited to no more than eight participants.
• Each workshop lasts two full (eight-hour) days, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. A typical Argentine lunch (for omnivores and herbivores) is included in the price, along with free beverages throughout the day.
• The workshops are given by me, Camille Cusumano, journalist, book author, and editor with 30 years in publishing. See my Home Page.
February is summer’s end in Argentina and the living is easy and exciting. March is like September in the eastern United States – still warm and pleasant.

You Rule. The next title – “Why Camille is Tango.”
Wow! I would love to do this and roll over another couple of weeks to stay and tango. Don’t know if I can at this point, but will put it in the planner and see what happens. What are fares like and what’s the best way to find good ones for BA? Are you staying there permanently now? Zia
Hola, Camila:
Placer de recibir tu comuniación.
Me encantaría que nos juntaramos para combinar acciones que potencien a ambos proyectos.
El Palacio Barolo ilumina a la ciudad todos los días 25 hasta el 25 de mayo, por el Bicentenario.
Tal vez podamos hacer algo con nuestras gentes, en la terraza, iluminados por esa maravilla.
Abrazos tangueros,
Jorge
